Hey So... (Patreon)

I saw an orthopedic specialist on Thursday who prescribed I completely immobilize my hand and wrist for the next three weeks. I got a brace, and some hefty anti-inflammatories. I slept with the brace on that night - in an anxious daze.

When I woke up my right hand felt like it was asleep.  I contacted the specialist who said it was likely due to the brace, not the medication. 

He wrote I could adjust/discontinue the brace as need be. I stopped using the brace eventually, but must still make a concerted effort to follow orders and NOT use my hand as much.

All this to say - the best way of keeping up with me in the coming weeks will be via instagram

I have not yet regained feeling in my hand and HO BOY IS THIS SCARY

But I rest. I ice. I meditate. This too shall pass. I can do this.
