Thumb pain

Jul 09, 2013 23:24

My metacarpal phalanges joint is a little swollen and hurts. The skin around the area is a little inflamed.  This is when I wonder if I'm getting arthritis super early.  This is also the time when I shake my head at myself and roll my eyes.  Because it's silly fear.  Probably just from some repetitive movement I did today.  What I can't quite place my finger on it.

Broke out the neoprene thumb opposition splint i made during my pediatric semester and am hoping that it helps.  I was looking for pressure, but the splint needs to be adjusted on the thumb right about where i need it.

In other news,

I built a shelf system to roll in the space btwn my fridge and the pantry.  Quite a fun experiment in wood working.  Makes me wish I owned real tools.  But alas, such is life.

Re arranged the bedroom.  Always nice to get a different feel.

Procrastination MAJOR on the cover letters.  I gotta get on that.  Like for reals.

I'm super boring.
