Hey everyone! Update and some good news.

Sorry I haven't been around but I've been going through some really hard times. I'm currently in the Intensive Outpatient Program for my depression brought on by my OBPI. But I'm getting better slowly. I also left my husband the day after my birthday. He's an alcoholic and phycologically abusive and I just couldn't reach him. The twins and I stayed with a friend for a week then we moved back home but only after DH started to make some changes. We're currently in counceling and doing much better.
The twins have been up to no good lately. They are constantly getting into trouble and growing up faster than I can blink. We recently got rid of Stevie's bink and 4 days after that the twins started crawling out of their cribs so we had to move them to twin beds which isn't going very well at the moment. But all and all when they aren't frustrating the living daylights out of me they are the joy of my life.
Injury wise, I'm not doing so well. I've been in tons of pain not only with my arm but also with my back and just about everything else. I recently saw a surgeon about my hands but because my last EMG showed only mild CTS he sent me for some more testing. Ihad some bloodwork done to rule out rhumetoid arthritis and hypothyroidism as well as a MRI of my neck. Blood work came back normal and the MRI only showed some minor problems that shouldn't be causing all the pain. So it's off for another EMG to see if the CTS has worsened over the last 6 months. If not then we're back to square one. If it has then I get to have a bilateral release done with a long recovery time while I take care of 2 two year olds. Not sure which answer I would prefer.
But the most exciting news is that I contacted Dr. Nath's office today. And not 2 hours after that I got a call from a nurse telling me what they needed for me to send to them for him to give me a treatment plan. I haven't been able to get to any of the clinics and as they don't have one coming close enough to me anytime in the near futer posted she said they would do it via email and mail. So as soon as I have my next EMG and can get the video done I'll be sending everything on to Dr. Nath! I know he probably won't be able to tell me anything that the other drs haven't but at least I have to try. Oh and I mentioned this to the nurse and she said she very much thinks he'll be able to help me.
Here's hoping.
