wrist

The hand doctor agrees with my primary physician that the problem with my wrist is tendonitis, and has given me a cortisone shot.

She said that if it's not significantly better by the middle of next week, I should call her back. The likely next step is a different splint, or maybe an X-ray to rule out a bone spur.

[The "visit summary" they sent says "1. Radial styloid tenosynovitis
• tenosynovitis of the wrist: care instructions " but doesn't actually include those, and has "medications administered: none" even though she gave me a cortisone injection.

The actual visit with the doctor was fine, but waiting was no fun because they were doing a lengthy test of the hospital fire alarm system, with strobes. I told the doctor that while strobes are uncomfortable, I have never had a seizure; however, it may be relevant that two of the medications I'm taking for other things are also used as anti-seizure drugs.

After seeing the doctor, I walked around a little, then took a bus home. The bus moved when I wasn't expecting it as I was about to sit down, and I fell; I think I'm developing large bruises on my right leg and arm.

There's a fancy food shop next to the bus stop. I glanced through the windows, saw only the proprietor, and went inside to buy a baguette. The shopkeeper said "I appreciate it," a little more than the routine thank-you, and I told him I'm trying to balance staying safe with shppping locally.

Lunch was the baguette and some smoked salmon, because we indulged ourselves.a little with the last Instacart order.
