Just the other day, I got one of the best xmas gifts ever… It was from a person I respect and owe a lot… Thank you so much!

Look at the smile on my face… hahahah…

It was a digital camera after all!

It has been a couple of days that I felt pain somewhere in between the base of my thumb and wrist. I didn’t pay much attention to it at first and made it go away just by applying over-the-counter pain killer liniment. However one night when I was just fooling around the office, it started to pain severly and I was caught up by surprise since I was not even touching anything.

I started exercising it by moving my wrist back and forth and pushing further each time thinking it would make the pain go away. Little did I know it made it WORST! At the end of the day I couldnt even move my hand anymore because of the pain it caused.

I was adviced by my mom to wrap it so to keep it from moving and to keep it warm. I applied some more liniment and wrapped it. She also refrained me from using my arm.

Ohhh my… it was so hard. I coudn’t even eat comfortably. It is my right hand for gods sake.. I couldn’t even clip my hair, wash my self, close my brassier, etc… this pain was killing me.

Fortunately after 3 days and after several anti inflamatory tablets the pain started to fade and I was again able to do some work on my own.

After doing some researches, I came to this guy’s page who also experienced same thing. I found out that it is called RSI (Repeatitive Strain Injury). http://www.webreference.com/rsi.html

RSI (also know as cumulative trauma disorder) is a soft-tissue injury in which muscles, nerves, or tendons become irritated or inflamed. RSI is caused by repetitive motions, excessive force, and extremes of motion. Over time these motions can strain the soft tissues, reducing circulation. These stresses create tiny tears in the muscles and tendons, which become inflamed. In extreme cases it can cause permanent tissue damage and disability.

Ohhh my… Just what I needed… Another sources of stress added to my daily complicated life… Haaayyyy….

After 3 months of being apart from my hubby, he is finally coming home… yehey… Im really excited…

He’ll be here Monday morning 8am… I just cant wait… I wish its Monday already…

I love you Bebe…
