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....
