I'm currently struggling with Repetitive Strain Injury.
This summer, August in particular, I worked a lot of hours. 10-12 hours a day. As a secretary that's a lot of time to be sitting in front of a computer. The consequence is my wrists ache all the time, my shoulders are knotted up and my neck is as stiff as a board. I'm getting acupuncture which is helping my shoulder and neck, but for my wrists the less time I spend on a computer the better. I'm also hoping to get physiotherapy but as my finances aren't up to it I'm going to have to wait.
I do wear wrist supports now, and knitting is just not the best thing for me. When it hurts to click my mouse I take it as a sign I should be resting!
Which sucks. Because knitting is a great stress reliever!
Anyway, I haven't blogged before and I won't be blogging again in a hurry. Such a disappointment! I never did finish my Clapotis...and now that there is a chill in the air when I head for work in the mornings, I sure could use it!
I DID have a beautiful day today. Sat for hours on my balcony reading a book, enjoying the fres air and wonderful sunshine. Bliss after a rotten week!
Oh dear Carrie, sounds like your having a really hard time at the moment.
Whatever about the computer, its really bad not being able to knit. Anyway
tonight I'm having a knitting/crochet break and browsing Ravelry, so I just
saw your blog again. Hope you get better soon.
Hey princess...I've left something for you at my blog...come and pick it
up!
