My hands were hurting on and off for a while. Then it got particularly bad in my left hand, and spread up my arm. My first thought when it started was, "Damn, I'm gonna have to get that Dragon speech recognition software, aren't I?" Later, when I started to get worried I was having a heart attack and was about to die, my first thought was, "I'd better write down all my passwords and where I'm keeping the latest copy of my novel."
There's nothing that makes me realize faster that I am totally out of touch with my own body than going to the doctor. They ask me questions like, "Where does it hurt? How long has it hurt? How much does it hurt on a scale of one to ten? How tall are you?" And I'm like, "Uhhh... I dunno, let me check my driver's license."
Turns out it's probably Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. So of course I'm here typing about it! Don't worry, I'm wearing a wrist brace.
My relief that my death is probably not imminent is starting to wear off and I'm getting a bit annoyed about the whole thing. All I do all day at work is type, and then when I get home, I type for fun! And I bet that Dragon thing is really a pain to use.
Anyway, here's my advice: don't use wrist rests, they suck. |
