Late April: Stick Yer Hand
Now this - is cool.I did something to my right hand last week. I picked up my backpack with my thumb and I heard a sound like when you crack your knuckle but softer. Since then my wrist has had this uncomfortable pull and in the morning some bathroom maneuvers have become tests of skill. One evening it felt better when I put a cold compress on the forearm and mobility was easier. HmmI mentioned this to my acupuncturist, so here I am writing this while my other hand has two pins. Hey I finally get to see what these look like! They have little rubber ends in lavender. It hurts and doesn't in waves, but not where the needles are stuck. Well that makes sense given the science... Next Day My hand/wrist feels better. I don't know whether it's healing on its own or that it's just a good day millibar-wise. My limbs don't ache today and I slept very well. Maybe it's just a good day overall.
