The diagnosis....

I've been having a little trouble lately... I went to my doctor yesterday.... After two x-rays and a self-diagnosis (isn't that typical of a nurse?!)... He confirmed it....lateral epicondylitis. Sounds serious! It's commonly known as "Tennis Elbow". Problem is... #1 It's affecting my left elbow (I'm right handed). #2 I haven't played tennis for years! He asked me what I had been doing for fun (?) to make my elbow hurt (he suggested a few things like working on a computer, yard work, etc. I said "nothing"... I look back and maybe all that sewing I've been doing lately is the culprit!) After an injection of cortisone... It's beginning to feel a lot better...so... On with the wrapping!
