The doctor says I need to give my wrist a week of non-use. As much as I’ll miss y’all, I can’t complain because “non-use” includes no house-cleaning. Wahoo!
UPDATE: As much as it pains me to admit this – particularly after so many sweet emails (which I’ll reply to as soon as I’m allowed) – it’s not RSI or carpal tunnel. It’s “washer woman’s wrist”… not nearly as glamorous but hopefully more profitable.

You’re profiting already – a week without cleaning!
Get well soon, Kate.

I’ve missedd, and will continue to miss the hiss… Take the time to heal.

As you can, Kate. As you can… we’re right here.

Hang tight, Venemous One. And definitely enjoy the respite from cleaning!!!

Well, at least you know what it is, and it sounds like it will heal up better than carpal tunnel! Miss you though.

I googled “washer woman’s wrist” and all that comes up is a list of similar repetitive stress afflictions. “Scriviner’s palsy” sounds so much cooler.

Hang in there, Kate!

Do get well soon. Do they give ergonomic instructions on how to fix it? Did they work?
I had a repetitive-strain wrist back in ’99. No, it wasn’t from pr0n. Fortunately it wasn’t from the fabled Carpal Tunnel either. A week’s vacation in New York cleared it up.

So when a man gets this, what is it called, “Tallywhacker wrist?
Get well soon!!

There was a case in Florida, maybe eight years ago, of a woman who filed a Worker’s Comp clain for an RSI acquired in the course of providing realism for her work as a phone sex operator.

At least it will heal, I know bout the nerve pain, had surgery for it, tendon release. Now I have nerve pain from a different cause, not curable so taking meds for it. Sucks. Get well soon and don’t worry bout us.

Uhhhh! It is all about me now. My sarcasm meter is on low and my sardonic supply is at the bottom of the barrel. My stinging one liners have been particularly limp and wimpy. I can’t seem to be able to hold a grudge and I’ve even been caught saying “whatever”. AND IT IS ALL YOUR FAULT!!!! (get better quickly, please (see, I got no bite left). Pass the Hat please (Ughhhh I can’t stand it, hurry every chance you get).

I hope you’re getting better and feeling better (washer woman’s syndrome, indeed; what a name for it). I really miss your posts. Take good care of you.

Get better soon. Your commentary on life and the world around us, is missed. But your health comes first. As it should be.
