Dec 28 - Pain/Swelling FInger


I have been bothered by my right ring finger for a long time now. It is quite difficult to do some chores especially if I bang it everywhere or even just giving these kids a bath. It's been like swollen everyday. I finally had it checked a week or so ago and had an x-ray. The doctor's office called me Friday, all my blood tests were clear and x-ray ok. So, I was ordered to just take Aleve for seven days, we shall see if it improves. Maybe it's arthritis.

So I took Aleve (NSAID - Non Steroidal Inflammatory Drug)last night, it is stll the same. The real steroids are possibly good to help the inflammation, however, the side effects are quite bad such as weight gain, stomach aches etc.

Woke up late and started to feed DS breakfast. Then I cooked beefsteak for lunch. Then I started to clean up on my bedroom, threw a lot of trash. Cleaned all the bathrooms. Clear the side tables and rearrange all the picture frames. My finger is not appreciating the work. I need a helper because I am afraid soon I won't be able to write. Geeze, I am not that old! However, I was told some infants and kids gets arthritis.

Living room is already clean. I cleaned the toaster oven, microwave and some areas in the kitchen and the computer area and the breakfast nook. Not done yet. I was just upstairs and vacuumed the room. I also have loads of clothes in the laundry and will be done soon. Two basketful of laundry plus the sheets that I have to change later. I will have to do the comforters tomorrow at a Laundromat.

So DH is helping clear out the trash at home, clean the rug area. I am getting rid of stuff that we no longer use. It really gets too dusty after one day, I have to keep up with the mess. These kids make a lot of mess and I get tired too easily.

Such is life.
