Goodbye to Dequervain

Since January, I suffered from DeQuervain's tendonitis in my hand and there was a long list of activities that made me scream in pain, including:
  • Changing Jake's diaper
  • Brushing my teeth with my right hand
  • Handwriting - even to just sign my name
  • Opening a jar or bottle
  • Cooking
  • Using a knife
  • Using scissors
  • Opening a door
  • Putting a seat belt on
  • Getting dressed
  • Turning a water a water faucet on
  • Typing

After 4 months of physical therapy, medication, splint wearing, and finally a shot of cortizone the pain is GONE. I will not miss the pain but I will miss that Tristan did all the diaper changing, cooking, cleaning, etc.
