I can't! Don't you know there are animals to save?

Even cymraegrrl doesn't pity me.

Pity me.

Here's a hug: {grog} But it's not out of pity.

I commiserate (although despite my studying my wrist doesn't hurt that badly right now, woo!).

I also offer up ART if it's carpal tunnel that pains you - it's the cheesiest looking therapy ever, but the most effective that I've found (at least post-surgery.. don't know if I could have avoided surgery if I'd found it sooner or not).

That's the spirit!

What happened to your wrist? Is it an injury or old age?

It's 43h sUxx0r that it hurts though.

Injured while helping an animal, no doubt.

I know why that wrist hurts! And it ain't from helpin' no helpless little critter!

Its sprained from repetetive stress. Too much work lately. I'm in charge of a project, which means I do all the work and write all the specs apparently

Yah, I think that's what OldR was tryin' to say, too.

seitanicvegan · 07-27-2005, 02:11 PM

Nope. No pity here. Sorry. (But that's just because I don't like being pitied, myself.)

I do hope your wrist feels better. Warm compress? Cold compress? Spa therapy? Brewskie therapy? Sounds to me like this isn't the first time.

If it makes you feel better, I get shooting pains through one arm when I play piano, especially certain songs. The only thing that makes the pain go away is not playing.

pooooooooooor grog, poor poor grog, its awful the pain you must endure for being such an incredible, dedicated employee, that despite your gut wrentching pain you would continue to toil away finishing your work, ready for more. poooooooooooor grog

now thats what i called pity

put ice water in the sink and soak as long as you can stand it, or put moist heat on it for as long as you can stand it then alternate between ice and heat. pm if you want specifics

I was supposed to spend the next week camping, but my trip has been cancelled! Boooooo!!!

Now instead of loafing about, I have to get a haircut and get a real job.

Sorry to hear that, Kat.
