stupid wrist (boring minor medical peeve)

[rmd]

so, yesterday, i woke up with a very sore wrist. i assumed i'd slept with it bent weirdly or something. and so i generally tried to take it easy and not taunt the wrist.

well, apparently, i wasn't nice enough to it. i woke up this morning with my wrist so sore i don't think i can safely operate my car (my right wrist is the injured one and i drive a standard transmission stick shift car)

600mg of vitamin I hasn't made much of a dent in it. i'm icing it periodically, and i've moved my trackball to the lefthand side of my keyboard (and boy howdy that's a bit weird to operate)

i tried wrapping it but i'm not sure it actually helped. i'll try it again after the next icing. i may hop a cab over to mt auburn's walk in clinic later today, too, if it seems like the usual treatments aren't helping.

that doesn't sound good ... would you like a ride there and back? i can drive you pretty much any time.

hey - ping me (by phone or email) when you're up. i may want a lift over. things aren't better and are possibly worse, and it doesn't feel like the usual soft tissue damage. and i finally (vaguely) remembered doing *something* that hurt it the other nite. or rather, i have a vague memory of saying "wow, that hurt." so there's at least something that might've been trauma.
