Too bad I've got the numbness back, but I'm pretty sure that's due to the UTI I had last week, and possibly the mild dental infection that I had at the same time. (yay! the antibiotics I was taking for the UTI did a great job on the dental infection)

My left hand feels like I'm still wearing my winter gloves I just took off. At least it's not horrible right now, but it would be nice if it went away. It's not as annoying as numb legs tho...and I can still crochet and knit with numb/tingly fingers.
