This week has been loooonnngg. What a nightmare it’s been too.

Nothing really to do with the thumb, but perhaps the surgery itself, or Brachial nerve block I had could have caused it? But so can other things, but the timing is weird, I was 5days post op for first heart event, then it happened again at 11 days later,which made me 16 days post op.

Twice now I’ve had an increased alertness, hammering heart, lightheaded, and high heart rate. Absolutely terrifying. First time I went to A+E after speaking to 111 first, they did basic bloods and ecg, and blood pressure. Then the second time, I tried to drink water, had aspirin in case, and do anxiety breathing too. Rang the GP who wrote me up for bloods to check my thyroid, which I’m doing on Tuesday this week. Let’s hope results come back quickly.

I can barely sleep at the moment, but the thumb itself is going well.

Not all doom and gloom though, I’ve now started cooking, food prep, washing up, cleaning, and best of all washing my hair and having a lovely bath (it was worth the wait)

Apart from odd bit of weakness and ache, you’d never think I’d had the metal took out 3 weeks ago, and tendon released. It’s wild how fast it’s fixed and I’m getting on with normal day to day things.
