Wristful Thinking

This wrist is 
a) making me think I'm crazy, because the pain comes and goes; but I know something's really wrong because I can't even do a push up or down/up/any kind of dog
b) making me think I'm crazy for admiring my mom's veiny hands when I was younger; had I known what those veins FELT like!
c) making my left wrist hurt na rin! CURSES!

The house now looks like it belongs to a serial killer who likes to chop up bodies because there are rubber gloves everywhere--utility room, kitchen sink, labada banyo. Kulang nalang huge sheets of plastic ;)

The doctor says it's synovitis. I've ditched the wrist brace and can now type (but not for too long). Everyday stuff I took for granted (opening doors and faucets, putting my clothes on) are now easier to do, but again, the pain comes and goes. Once our latest major project is done (something I worked on is going to RUSSIA! Russia!) I'm hoping to visit an old Chinaman in Manila who, according to Dad's friend, has performed miracles on other malfunctional humans such as yours truly. ABANGAN!

If I were REALLY honest with myself, I would ask the following to testify under oath that they were not responsible for the state of my wrists:

a) The heavy clasp of my Nine West bag (NO!!)
b) My beloved Kindle (double NO!!)

I plead the 5th!

Leo! Thanks for the good vibes. Sana mawala na ito. Am getting fat from not working out or cooking stuff healthier than takeout.
