Just so you know
I have been to see my doctor, and I must take the tendinitis very seriously. There basically is nothing they can do for it except for ice, rest, anti-inflammatories, and some physical therapy. The real problem is the rest. It is like pulling teeth to get them to change my workstation at work. I have made the modifications I needed to at home, but I still need to stay off the computer as much as possible.
So do not be surprised that comments continue to be late, and I probably won't be logging on to AIM at all. Sorry about that. It's just some triage that I absolutely have to do. I'm deep into commenting on portfolios already. When my wrist starts to hurt, I brace my arm by tensing my neck. Then I clench my teeth. Then my face won't unclench. The anti-inflammatories make my stomach hurt, so I can't eat either. I'm pretty miserable out here, is what I'm trying to say.
I still hope to get SC done, but I really can't say when; the other projects will have to come slowly as I start to feel better. The problem is that even when I start to feel better, I can't just go back to what I was doing before. I kind of have to rest beyond what I actually need.
The only thing that has me feeling even a little bit of hope is that I had similar troubles in one of my ankles. I cut way back on what I was doing, and now it only bothers me some of the time, and I am working on re-strengthening it. But it's still not the same as it was before, and it probably never will be.
Keep your fingers crossed for me. I'm working really really hard at trying to get them to make the necessary modifications at work, and this is difficult, because they're cheap bastards. If you need to contact me, please send a PM via LJ. I can't promise that I will be functional very frequently, but I will do what I can.
