Going for Gold

So tomorrow marks the end of the Olympics and I can hear your needles busy clicking away to meet your goal for the Ravelympics/Knitting Olympics. I had entered myself in the WIP event, but never knit more than 4 rows ceremoniously during the opening ceremony. Instead, I’m going for gold in the Super Secret Deadline [...]

Don't Want to Jinx it but……

Well, I definitely don’t want to jinx it, but I’m feeling a lot better. Not 100% yet and maybe a day on the computer will change my mind about this, but feeling pretty good. I went to the chiropractor on Saturday and we’re thinking it might be more of a pinched nerve causing the discomfort. [...]

Treatment: Day 5

Feeling pretty good this morning and looking forward to seeing the doc tomorrow. Going home to NJ tonight, so I won’t be able to update til I get back. Hopefully I’ll have nothing but good to say about the wrist and progress on the knitting! It’s going to take a little bit of extra motivation [...]

Treatment: Day 4

This morning the tendons in my forearm feel a little tight and ache (in my head) when I think about the project due in one week! About mid-morning had to switch back to the brace for computer work and rubbed some pain cream on my entire arm. Felt good enough at lunch to knit, but [...]

Treatment: Day 3

Not doing too bad today. Woke up with arms in strange position and they were asleep, but corrected that quickly. Very slight pain when using computer, but nothing abnormal considering the circumstances. At lunch went out to try and find some ibuprofen cream, but no luck. Went with an asprin type one that is supposed [...]

Treatment: Day 2

7:30am: Woke up with a little tenderness in the wrist area, but nothing abnormal. Neck muscles have been stiff due to leaning over, but only related to the problem to a point. Didn’t experience any numbness during the night which is a plus. 8:30am: Hot shower does wonders for sore muscles. I think the sore [...]

Treatment: Day 1

Today my dvd arrived that is supposed to cure me of my wrist pain 4-eva. It’s not exactly a hollywood production, but the logic behind the injury made total sense and the fix is very simple (and according to the dvd – effective). I did what it told me to and I’m a little sore, [...]
