This week has been hectic but great...
I had my hospital appointment on Tuesday and was told that it's almost definitely not carpal tunnel syndrome. I saw the Consultant that I was meant to have seen in the beginning and he was far more helpful and looked at me as a whole instead of just the specific thing I'd been referred for. He's suggested that the problem may stem from my neck as I have a lot of pain there and it's probably just a trapped nerve or something so he's arranging an MRI for me and I'm back in six weeks for the results... fingers crossed I get some answers although I'm sure the test results will be 'normal'. Apparently there's definitely something wrong with me but nothing that tests will ever show up and nobody can figure it out.
I started my new job on Wednesday which (despite a few glitches in the system and me not having half the things I need to do my job thanks to poor management) is FAR more interesting than my last job already - and I've not even started the real work yet. I have a lovely team of people to work with and it's far better pay than before, plus I don't get time to pig out on junk food. It's also been a bonus not typing for the first few days - given my hands and neck a rest. Hopefully the enjoyment lasts as I can see it being a great job.
I also had a pantomime audition on Wednesday which I feel went quite well. I won't find out the outcome until 1st September but if I get it I've been warned the costume will be quite skimpy so a good incentive to keep myself in shape.
Other than that it's been a pretty standard week but I've felt pretty well, had some good gym sessions and enjoyed a fair amount of 'me-time' this weekend whilst ALS has been at work all weekend.
Now to get all my cleaning finished and get some food before ALS gets home!
