The brace is gone!!!  I am so pumped!  This is the first time in four months that I haven’t had a cast or a brace on my arm!  I still have to have physical therapy twice a week to regain motion, but it’s so exciting to be able to wear normal shirts again… and of course jewelry!

While I was in Louisville, for my almost weekly visit to the Louisville Arm and Hand, I met up with my college buddy Diane.  We had lunch downtown at Makers Mark Tavern on Fourth Street.  I would not recommend it.  The atmosphere was fun, and the service was very good.  However, the food was nothing special… and there was no one there!  I guess that should have been a red flag!  Maybe it would be better at night.

Another surgery done… and hopefully, it’s the last!!!  My arm is all bandaged up in a huge cast, that goes above my elbow!  So, I’m getting pretty good at one handed typing… actually, I’m getting pretty good at doing everything with one hand!  I’m still amazed at what I once thought only needed a few fingers, but apparently you use both hands to do the most minimal tasks… or so I thought!  Ugh… I can’t wait until my arm is functioning again!

FYI… I hope you never do, but just in case you ever have an issue with your arm, wrist, hand, etc… I found the best surgeons in the world!  (And if you know me, you know that I did a lot of research!) Louisville Arm and Hand - Dr. Gupta and Dr. Ramachandran… I love them!  They’re the best!  Tell them I sent you… I’m their favorite patient ;)!

At BlumLux, we’re always trying to come up with the next big thing.  So, it was no surprise when Nick had his next “brilliant” idea…

I just found out today that I would have to have another surgery on my wrist :(!!!  Of course, the biggest draw back is having to be in a cast AGAIN!  Trying to cheer me up, Nick suggested that we bejewel my cast!  He said that I seem to like just about anything if it’s bejeweled.  That got me thinking… Wow, can you imagine… (just wait!)
