now the purpose of this diary is to keep me on the...narrow. i mean really, how am i supposed to get better unless i'm vigilant? but i get busy and sometimes the pain gets a bit much. decision: write email, or write to self? self-examination can easily be put on a bk burner and a communique typed up instead....
since last, i found that things weren't so painful when doing things like yard wk, cleaning out the garage, and other stren. activity, mostly because i was at my parents. it's easier when someone else is there to remind a person to take a break, take it easy, stop, come inside and eat! that sort of thing. and i was not doing graphics, merely typing. activities did catch up with me as i found myself not feeling great enough to make the long drive back comfortably. the r. arm is quite a bother. thankfully, had driving buddy.
the new year: the freelance is manga touch up, i do it almost entirely with the kensington turboball on the left side. i'm uncertain why the r. arm cont. to be a problem, i guess it's contrary like that. as my old doctor always pointed out: billateral. am now exper. constant swelling on the left arm. ok, the wrist. and my r. wrist. i've never had carpal tunnel, my prob. for the last 10 yrs. has been the tendons of my elbows. so......
swelling wrists=........
and no, i don't want to say it.
joy!!! normal is no longer doing what i think i can do, it's doing what i moderately could do.
change your life, for goodness sakes.
it's like talking to myself. ;D
love,
