And it just gets better and better. Saw the doctor today about the hand. First there’s the pain in the heel of my hand (originally presumed to be from the broken wrist) which hasn’t been getting better. The other is a ridge along the underside of one finger with a lump in the palm near the joint. That appears to be a growth on the tendon pulling it short. Not calcification because that would have showed up in the X-rays. Both of these exceed what my PCP can do and, in particular, the tendon will require surgery to “clean off” whatever is growing on the tendon (hoping it’s just a cyst). He’s referred me to a hand specialist both for the tendon growth and the pain in the palm.
Well, at least my unsurance’s (I declare that a word) deductible, high as it is, equals the Out of Pocket, so if we can make goal in my fundraiser, it should cover all three.
