Hmmm… Slightly less of an office again.
My office has once again become a room where we dump stuff while working on other rooms in the house. Granted, it’s a whole lot better than it was a while back, and it’s usable I guess. But it’s not made for serenity, I’ll tell you that!
I have however made some improvements here, and now I don’t have to use an extension cord to get power in here!
I managed to develop something called mouse elbow, which is essentially the exact same thing as tennis elbow, but basically caused by working with mouse an keyboard. It sounds almost funny, the name I mean, but fuck me sideways it hurts! First I couldn’t lift a milk carton without pain. But now it’s a few steps worse. I have constant pain from my shoulder down to the hand, so sleeping is a bitch, with the constant ache. I can’t stretch my arm out without making faces, and if I manage to straighten my arm out, I have to endure pain bending it.
Fantastic timing with the construction we’re doing at our house/offices. Hammers… hmpf. Screw drivers… hmpf. Been to a physiotherapist, still going there a few times a week. Gotten shots straight into my elbow, tried a special kind of massage, acupuncture, targeted training (muscle strain directly on the affected area), I use sports tape to add stability to my hand and arm (lots of tape), I use some sort of pressure band around my arm just below the elbow which is supposed to relieve pressure from the muscle, popping pills, using gels… Yeah, I do feel a bit sorry for myself right now, and god damn it I’m entitled to. Fuck my arm is what I say right now, I’m so pissed at it. All I do all day long is using my computer with its mouse and keyboard, trying to use a hammer, screw drivers, tongs, cutting pliers, even using my my power drill hurts like hell. And every single thing I do makes it worse by the minute. Save my soul and give me a new arm!
