Wrap-up

So, I just realized that I never told everyone what I ACTUALLY did to my wrist.  It had been hurting, worse and worse, for a few days, so I made an appointment to see the clinic doctor.  He's a real nice guy, actually.  He likes to talk to me about music and playing instruments.  So, anyway, I took some time off from work and went to the clinic.  He bent my wrist a few different ways for several minutes, asking the age old question, "Does it hurt when I do this?  How about now?"  Then he had me squeeze his fingers and whatnot.  Finally, he sits back and smiles.  "I know what's wrong!  My wife did this once."

Turns out I have tendinitus in the two tendons that connect to your thumb.  So, I had to go to Sunbury and buy a wrist splint.  It completely encases my thumb, so that I can't move it.  It didn't fit at first, but I have made it work by first wrapping my wrist with an ace-wrap and THEN putting on the brace.  I have to keep it on for 4 weeks (joy!).  That means I should have it off and fine by the time school starts.  Thank the gods.  But I will have to have it on when Jess and I go up to my house in two weeks, or so.  The NY extravaganza!!!!  Drinking, gambling, Niagra, and much, much more!  Should be lots of fun.  And home-cooked food!  Finally!!!!

Alright, well, I'm still hen-pecking my posts, so I'm going to stop now.  That is the update, and finale, of the wrist problems, most like.  Also, on a side note, I have been recieveing NUMEROUS e-mails from an old friend in highschool.  Upon graduation, he kinda showed his true "bum" colors.  He has done nothing productive since.  And now I'm getting at least 5 e-mails from him a day.  Kinda frightening....and unprovoked....so I'm confused.  I used to have a major crush on this guy, until I realized what lack of actual ambition he had.  Lots of talking of big things to do with his life.  No actual doing.  I guess I just grew up.  Realized that I had dreams that I WILL make happen.  He is content to only dream.  Kinda makes me sad....
