Nancy at <a href="http://nancysfamilyhistoryblog.blogspot.com/">My Ancestors and Me</a> left me a comment in an entry, wondering where I had been and if I was all right.<br /><br />I had a rollover accident in my SUV on February 22, described in my other blog, <a href="http://sharpchick-2011.dreamwidth.org/25536.html">here.</a><br /><br />The surgery to fix my wrist went well, but then I developed a complication called Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy, RSD. It's also known as Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, CRPS.<br /><br />I was referred to a neurologist, who has a God complex to the nth degree, and am now trying to get a referral to another one.<br /><br />I'm not 100%, and probably will not be for quite a while. Typing is still difficult, although I do manage much better than this time a month ago.<br /><br />I have also gained an enormous amount of respect for the thousands of people living with chronic pain disorders.<br /><br />One of the things I haven't been able to do is get out with my camera in cemeteries. I've been back at work since March 12 - 10 days post-op - but have multiple weekly medical appointments including physical therapy 3 times a week. My PT is my hero, because he's the one who saw the beginnings of RSD and galvanized my ortho doc into action.<br /><br />Thank you, Nancy. I appreciate your concern more than you know.<br /><br />ETA: Thank you to all the geneabloggers and the grapevine.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=dee_burris&ditemid=112045" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
