:-) Hope these are seen and there will be something interesting or educational to be found therein.

Gardening his torture for our hands. Pulling weeds is painful, not only for the weed but our wrists as well. After an afternoon of ‘weeding’, wrists become so painful just to lift a plate is darn near impossible. You never know when pain will strike - the glass could easily be dropped and soon found in hundreds of pieces on the floor. Suffered Carpal-Tunnel/Syndrome for years and when it shows up once again, typing is a challenge at best.

Busy week this week. Will be ‘out’ more often than not. Give your hands/wrists some TLC. Take care!

That’s my plan, I’m taking it easy this week. I’ve had surgery for intersection syndrome (a tendinitis) and radial tunnel compression. The pain now is as bad as it was before the surgery is. And I can’t have them again! So I am alternating heat and ice, hoping to get it manageable again. In comparison, I was doing darned good before this! The ironic thing is that ever since I drove to Nashville to see the orthopedic surgeon last October, my arms have never fully recovered.
