SOLD!

For those who are have not heard, we sold our townhouse on Friday. It's a non-continguent offer (which is good) but is still pending until an appraisal is done on our place this week.

The closing date is scheduled for April 25th.

Our househunt now begins!!!

3/3 Update: Everything came back fine. Our house is sold!!!

Congrats! Since the offer is non-contingent, when are we having the party where we wreck the place?

Shannon said...
I'll have my fingers crossed.

You know, when I helped paint that kitchen I was under the impression you were planning on getting decades out of it, not years. All that time wasted....

Elena said...
That's awesome! Good luck with the appraisal. We don't want to be TOO far away from you so we'll move... to the Grove. Does that sound like a nice thing to do for YOU?

SELL THAT HOUSE!

Eleven is pretty good, but...

...opportunities like the one I had tonight do not come along often, if ever.

Unfortunately, while I threw a good ball in frame seven, the seven pin decided to be a little stubborn.

It was that mere pin which was the difference between a wonderful score and bowling immortality.

Wow! That is quite impressive. Congratulations!!!

Jon Sexe said...
Did the 7 pin wobble at all in the 7th or was it not hit at all?

Nothing. I left the seven pin solid. It might have been more painful to have missed if it had danced and almost fallen.

Amy said...
I am, as they say, impressed.

Shannon said...
Nice work, what with the wrist and all.

26 said...
Fortunately, it's the other (right) wrist that hurts.

On a side note, the very next time I bowled I put up 12 straight strikes. Unfortunately, it was nine in one game and three in the next. One of the guys we were bowling against that night has about twenty 300 games and he told me I should still be proud of it, regardless if it was over two games or not.

This afternoon I'd fail a drug test

About a month ago I developed a painful thumb/wrist inflamation. Two weeks ago I was referred to a specialist who deals with wrist tendonitis. This afternoon, I am going in for a shot to hopefully correct it. All and all, it's not all that exciting, except that Gina and I have gotten a good chuckle out of my "womanly" disease. As you read farther down, you will understand...

Definition: DeQuervain's tenosynovitis is a condition that causes pain associated with movement of the thumb. The cause of the pain of DeQuervain's is inflammation within a confined area around the base of the thumb and wrist. This inflammation is called 'stenosing tenosynovitis.' This simply means that the inflammation involves the synovium and tendons that control the movement of the thumb.

Who is susceptible to DeQuervain's tenosynovitis? DeQuervain's tenosynovitis is most common in the 30-50 year old age group, and is seen more commonly in women. DeQuervain's tenosynovitis is due to excessive use of the wrist. It is commonly seen in new mothers as the motion of picking up the baby can cause irritation to these wrist tendons.

How is the diagnosis of DeQuervain's tenosynovitis made? The examination of DeQuervain's is usually quite typical with tenderness over the involved tendons. One specific maneuver called 'Finkelstein's test' is quite specific for this condition. Finkelstein's test is performed by making a fist and moving the wrist towards the small finger. Patients with DeQuervain's tenosynovitis will have pain with this maneuver.

What is the treatment of DeQuervain's tenosynovitis? Most patients with DeQuervain's tenosynvitis will find improvement with splinting and a cortisone injection. If the problem persists, a surgical procedure to release the tight tissues around the tendon can be performed.

Man, I've suffered with this on and off for ten years. Started from folding the denim wall at the Gap. Sucks.

I'd say you should get it checked out. The cortizone shot didn't make it go away, but helped quite a bit (maybe ~80% improvement).

26 said...
The 80% has now become 90+%. Yeah for steroids!!!

Steroids? I'm not guarding "Bonds" in hoops next summer, you can better believe it!
