ouch

I'll be posting on an irregular schedule for a while.

Carpal tunnels are giving me grief and my little ganglion is also very painful right now.

I need to rest the hands and wrists.

I'll keep reading all of you, but probably won't leave as many comments.

    I read but don't comment so much these days as explained the other day/week? Really hope the carpal tunnel improves soon, although can you get it medically helped. Since I have had an enforced rest from blogging I have found some really lovely blogs I hope you do too. Whilst I love reading your daily snippets I think putting yourself and your health first is paramount. I shall miss you and look forward to your healthy return.
    Take care.

    All of you; thanks. I have wrist braces that I sleep in and they help a lot. A big problem is the touchscreens at the checkouts, they are not as responsive as they used to be, (getting old), so we have to tap harder at them, this creates a domino effect through fingertips, knuckles, wrists etc. Also the increasing sizes of things like cans of dog food, especially problematic for those of us with small hands.

    River would love to hear if you find a solution [other than surgery.]
    With the loss of use of my right hand comes severe carpal tunnel in the left. About to make an attempt on my voice recognition software in the hope it will solve my problems.

    Hi River,

    Hope the pain goes away - I get it from time to time and it isn't pleasant.

    :-(

    Cheers

    Chez; the problem isn't bad enough to require surgery, (which I've heard doesn't always fix the problem anyway). I have wrist braces to wear while I sleep to stop me from curling my hands as I do, this lessens the pressure on the carpal tunnel; apart from that I just rest them as long and as often as I need to. Hence the very short working hours.

    Peskypixies; feeling much better in the wrists now, fingers and knuckles still ache a fair bit.

    Plasman; I've noticed it seems to be much worse in the frosty weather.

Words for Wednesday

Image
 The original Words for Wednesday was begun by Delores and eventually taken over by a moveable feast of participants when Delores had computer troubles. Sadly, Delores has now closed her blog forever due to other problems. The aim of the words is to encourage us to write. A story, a poem, whatever comes to mind. If you are posting an entry on your own blog, please let us know so we can come along to read it and add a few encouraging words. This month the words/prompts are supplied by River (that's me) and can be found here This week's words/prompts are:  1. on the run 2. belong 3. street 4. breakfast 5. tent and this image: taken by "Genius" and allowed by Val . Also Charlotte's colour of the month which is Orient Red for September.

Sunday Selections #718

Image
 Long ago, Kim of Frog Ponds Rock, (who no longer blogs), dreamed up a meme called Sunday Selections.  A place where those who were willing could put up photos they wanted to share, new, old, good, bad or indifferent, any photos you please.  Nothing rude or vulgar though. And we don't mind at all if other bloggers care to join us. The meme is now continued by Elephant's Child and I join in as do a few others. Andrew is one.  Messymimi is another. Drop in to their blogs and have a look. Wisewebwoman has also been joining us occasionally. you might need your magnifying glass or a high powered microscope to read the franking over the stamp: above the stamp it reads "secure your dog" and across the stamp "for safe delivery" - this was on a Christmas card that arrived through the mail from my brother. Excellent advice I think. an "Aussie style" Christmas window display seen in the city by "no-one" David Jones Store has its traditional Chri...
