The Emg was unpleasant but not as bad as I remembered. The dr was talking to another dr about the procedure, just teaching him about it, and it was interesting hearing about the technical aspect of it though obviously I didn’t understand. Kept my mind off the weird electric shocks. Dx is definitely carpal tunnel, and severe at that. Now I see my hand specialist next week and see what he says. He already said he’d likely recommend surgery based on my presenting symptoms at the time so that’s what he’s going to say. I was hoping to put it off until the summer but the dr who did the EMG said I don’t want to put off treatment for too long as it could become chronic. I’ll see what the hand dr says and go from there.

@*Beth* sometimes I wonder if Mary should really be a therapist, honestly. Talking about herself for the whole session doesn’t sound very helpful at all!
