I just never envisioned hand problems like this, and it&#8217;s definitely been eye-opening to see how many people suffer as I have been.<\/p>\n<p>When this whole torturous episode is behind me, I&#8217;ll be naming names, of both the healthcare people who did what should be done, and the ones whose systems absolutely have to be re-thought. And I&#8217;ll be confessing my <em>own<\/em> mistakes along the way, in the hopes that all my travails will help at least one other person out there down the line.<\/p>\n<p>But please continue to check INAM daily because I worked ahead so I&#8217;d be up-to-date on my week-daily posts. There are party reviews, movie reviews, and I&#8217;m sure a rant or two to keep you entertained while I convalesce. And as soon as I can declare that my hands are pain-free, (or at least close to it,) I&#8217;ll be back to my usual self.
