Carpal Tunnel May Have Me Down--but Not Out!

Not blogging is driving me crazy! I guess I'm "addicted." Besides, I can't stop typing completely because my wrist is sore.

But I am doing some wrist exercises, and I thought I'd give it a week to see if symptoms improve, and if not, I'll go to the doctor. I'm "lucky" enough to have one of those high-deductible insurance plans, so any medical expenses I have right now must be paid out of pocket. And finances aren't so good right now.

Fortunately (I guess), some of my work has slowed down, so I'm not having to type all day long.

I've seen some of those carpal tunnel wrist braces--and they look like the most cumbersome, uncomfortable things in the world. A co-worker had to wear one for a while, and she acted like it really didn't help. (Handsome, if you're reading this, didn't you say you wear one occasionally?).

I did come across one that's more flexible that you wear to bed, and that sounded pretty good. But don't want to shell out the cash just yet.

To protect my hand, I probably won't be posting much this week on the sites of my blog buddies (sorry, guys). In general, not much to say at the moment. Tried to vote this weekend but decided to wait because the line was so long. Took a day-trip with my partner, and it was ok--lots of traffic and crowds put a damper on our plans.

All for now.
