Get A Grip

[bloodyrosemccoy]

Some kind of weird injury in my hand is causing me to drop things. I don't think it's actual hand weakness; I think it's just that the little pain spasms when I try to grip things are making my hand pop open reflexively. I'm not sure how I got it, but I suspect I've been weeding the garden and supporting myself on my knuckles. Whatever it is, it's sure as hell making things awkward at work.

People wonder why I never wear open-toe shoes to work even in summer. It's because dropping a huge coffee table book on your foot? Really painful. I'm not about to add injury to injury here.

Crap, has this ever happened before?

I was having hand/arm pain that was getting so bad that I started not being able to do shit at work. I thought they were going to have to put me down out back until I took an alieve. I don't know what's in that shit, but one totally cured me.

Aleve is good stuff. It's the only thing that even touches the pain for most of my headaches, and when I had a couple of bad teeth, it was the only thing that let me function at all.

Better living through Chemistry!
