On The Mend

" Far better to live your own path imperfectly, than to live another's perfectly." 

~ Bhagavad-Gita

Yes it's been a while since you've heard from m. I last wrote 19 days ago. This is an unusually long absence on my part.

 So where have I been?

Well, on the morning of July 22nd, I woke up with a tenderness on the outer part of my right wrist.

By that evening it had spread to the inside of my wrist as well. 

The next morning my entire hand was swollen and within a day or so that swelling had made its way up to my elbow.

At dinner that Thursday evening, I was feverish,shaking and mostly incapable of concentrating enough to hold a conversation. 

The pain level had roared past unbearable.

Friday morning I finally drove myself over to the emergency clinic.

I am not sure if the doctor was diagnosing me or flirting with me.

He said I had acute tendinitis.

It's nice to know I have a cute something!

Since then , I have not been able to use my right hand or arm at all.

I am happy to report that I am finally feeling a wee bit better.

Better enough to take a shot at using the keyboard on my computer.

Hopefully, the mending will continue and I will be able to get back to my daily routines, including writing to you.

I have only been at his for a few minutes and already I can feel the hand starting to swell up as the pain starts to appear once again, so I will end here for now.

I just wanted to let you know that I am in fact still alive and looking forward to some normalcy in my life in the very near future.
