It's definitely great to be able to nap when the RSI pain gets to be high. It's been a bit high the last couple days. In fact, I had to turn down a gig at The Brain Wash because I wasn't certain I'd be able to rehearse enough in time due to the RSI. I'm trying something new and seeing a chiropractic neurologist next week. I've had RSI for 10 years now. I don't do as much of what's within my power to do as I should (there are exercises I should be doing regularly and I'm kinda half-assed about it), but even so my case has been pretty intractable. A 7th-generation Chinese Traditional Medicine doctor and accupuncturist said my case was one of the weirdest (in that it was not budgeable) they'd ever seen. I put off my weekly deep tissue massage so I'd be able to put the money towards this appointment, but I was wrong about how long I could do without.
Still, it's nothing compared to some of the migraine hell I read about here.
You may very well be right that I should make shorter chunks of time for some things (for other things I need more time because I need to get into it...like studying Mac OS X). I didn't get out in the yard today but twice this week I've pulled weeds for 10 or 15 minutes.
I just wanna snuggle you, Spidra. I shall think snuggly thoughts in your direction as I head off to dreamland.
yes, napping is important - but so is going for a walk. when you can . two friends with RSI. they were both told to walk a lot. the more your blood moves, the more your body heals.
heading in the general direction of bed... sleep well, rest well, and peaceful minds.
You are so sweet! Sleep well. As is my recent usual, I think I'm going to be up at least a couple more hours.
Yep, cardiovascular exercise is important for RSI. Need to get the blood flowing, 'tis true.
Toto has mega itchy ear this morning. I looked around on the web, and it could be allergies. I'm trying to decide if I should try to have him seen or not today. Poor guy.
Poor Toto. Hope you get it figured out, vw.
Poor Toto. You may have to take him in to expedite healing.
You may have to take him in to expedite healing.
That's what I was thinking.
And isn't that just the BEST WORD EVAH?!
