I am waiting for a reply from my Dr regarding my wrist/hand x-ray results after my fall last week in Jasper. The swelling has gone done considerably and although I had said my hand hurt, I was still typing and still AM typing (slowly) but my hand is hurting now more than before. How can that be? I guess I am trying to use it more and I realize that 'something' is not right. I went out last night to get a support for my wrist and found one at Walmart which was $30 for a slim line, woman's tensor bandage. I know it was a lot of $$ but I was desperate. I wore it to bed but took it off after a short while as my hand felt like it was swelling - maybe I had it on too tight. But, if it's not tight, what's the point?!! Anyway, I am wearing it now and it makes it cumbersome to type but it does keep my wrist straight.
The x-ray tech gave me a CD to take back to my Dr right after I was x-rayed but the receptionist said they could not read it and were not sure why they would send it. I took it to work and thought 'I will see if I can read it' and sure enough....I could. Not sure why they couldn't!! Anyway, she had said they get a courier each day so they should have a written report for the Dr to see. Well, it is now Friday and no word yet. You would think that they would phone. Perhaps there is nothing worth phoning about! However, the x-ray tech said I did have a cracked hand and I can see that in my x-ray. Oh..what to do.
I finally called this morning but they don't open until 9 am (the reception). I do know that my Dr starts at 7:15 a.m. with her first appt so they are there but just not answering for awhile. Hopefully they will call me FIRST this morning before I have to call them! It will be my luck that the Dr is NOT in on Fridays and it will be Mon before I hear from them!
