Hope everyone's having a great day. Hey, Jacqueline Filet. How are you doing? I'm doing good. Excited that it's Thursday. Very, very excited. I am going on a cajurna fred today a real

cojourner fred have the best time bon voyage yeah I'm going to Dallas later today so this is my little

airport look my look um I have like major news that I haven't even shared with you because I wanted to tell you live on the podcast. That you're wearing your hair half up, half down. Okay. Well, thank you for noticing. I am wearing my hair half up, half down, but that's not what I wanted to tell you. With a gene cinch shingle. A cinchinkle gene. Correct. But all of these things are not the enormous news that I wanted to tell you. Because those two things on their own are enormous. Huge. Huge. But tell me.

So. Correct. But all of these things are not the enormous news that I wanted to tell you. Because those two things on their own are enormous news. Huge. Huge. But tell me. So yesterday, you didn't even ask, I had my EMG. Right. The long-awaited results for what's wrong with my thumb. Are you ready? I'm right. I'm glad I didn't ask. Sorry for not asking, but now I'm glad I didn't because I want to be learn with everyone. The EMG was inconclusive. So yeah, I, first of all, EMGs are like two hour

long things. They're mostly uncomfortable. They basically like shock your nerves to like see if you

feel it. So I literally, I was like this with my arm every three seconds. They basically like shock your nerves to like see if you feel it. So I literally I was like this with my arm every three seconds. They want to see if you could like have reflexes. And then the last 10 minutes. So I wouldn't say it's like overall painful until the last 10 minutes where they take like a needle that looks like an epidural. And they just like shove it in different parts of your arm. And then at the very end they were like, flip over, we're going to stick it in your back. I said, what? I was seriously shocked all of that just to be inconclusive. So basically what they were saying was that because the EMG didn't tell us anything, that means that it's not a tendon issue. Right. It's not terrible. And it's not a ligament issue.

Like it's not going to be something that's solved by surgery. I was like, you know what?

That's actually good news. He was like, that means it's more of a nerve issue. And that can mean a lot of things. And then when he started to say, he was like, this could be inflammation. It could be autoimmune, we'll have to get a blood test.

And I was like, oh my God, I'm entering like Lyme disease celebrity territory.

Yeah. immune. We'll have to get a blood test. And I was like, oh my God, I'm entering like Lyme disease celebrity territory. Yeah, a chronic. I was like, are you, you're kidding. Yeah, inflammation. I was like, you're kidding me. Like my thumb doesn't work because of inflammation. He didn't even know. He was just throwing some ideas out there. But I officially decided, like, in that moment, I will not be pursuing this endeavor further. Like, I'm not, I'm going to end up, like, Joe Manchinello with a shaman. Like, I'm not doing it. Oh, my God. I can't believe it was autoimmune inflammation. Yeah, he said there's basically something like stopping one of my nerves. Like, there's an inflammation, basically it's like not working properly and when I

heard inflammation I was like I was like you're kidding I'm gonna pack my things yeah I was just like

I just I sat here for two hours I got needles inflammation you know what I almost wish now it was like

a tendon that could be solved first of First of all, I'm glad.

I'm glad that you don't need surgery.

That's not serious.

It is like, you know, a little embarrassing.

Of course.

But it's the best possible outcome, truly.

Yeah, he did say that like while everything was inconclusive and he recommended blood tests
