I'd refinanced to do a bunch of things this house needed bad. Most this I am (WAS) doing it by myself.

I just did finish the ceramic in the living room and hall Thursday, and my right hand started giving me fits. I mean like waking me in the middle of the night, numb, and hurting like H*ll. I go to the doc tomorrow to find out wtf is going on. Right now, I can't even pick up a pot of coffee with it.

friend said I needed to give it rest, and put a stabilizer on my wrist. so bought one friday, and fingers are still swolen today, but least it hasn't been waking me in the middle of the night.

I'm right handed, and this is my right hand giving me all this problems. Learning to be a lefty isn't easy after being right handed for 50 years!

Kitchen is still in shambles, and I have the ceramic that needs to go down in there. I will have to hire this out now. You only get one right hand....so not going to push my luck anymore.

after 3 days of working with the ceramic, I felt like I'd bit off a bit more than I can chew. I have a small living room, but the thing really got bigger once I started doing the cuts on the edges, lol. I've now learned that my living room is bigger than the bathroom I did a few years back, lol.

a friend online mentioned Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, and I started researching. I really didn't like what I found at all. Every simptom they had on that one website listed, I had...not good.

I go to doc Monday at 10:30 for an official dx. Monday just won't get here fast enough for me. Meantime, been wearing this "wrist stabilizer" 24/7 except when I ice fingers down for swelling.

This has really got me far down mentally too. I got a workshop last month, and can't do a thing in it, except enjoy the a/c in the window.

Then a few online friends tells me "quit typing". I'm thinking not much else left in life for me right now except the internet.

I will do as doc says, hopefully it'll get better. I want to some day be able to finish the projects I have going right now. But I certainly won't be doing the kitchen ceramic myself now. My kitchen is about the same size as my living room!

Kept feeling this past week, like I bit off a bit more than I could chew, and I've never felt that way before doing anything around this home! And believe me, even though I'm female, not much I haven't tackled around here. Even put a cover on a 12x26 patio, and built a carport.....all by myself.

I suppose since Friday, I been having one big pity party. I'm angry about my hand doing this. then get aggitated cause I can't do anything one handed. even starting the car with left hand now, and putting it in gear with left hand. and left hand sure can't do near what the right hand used to do. My work around here has came to a screeching HAULT. And bad part....I have so much more stuff to "finish up"

I'll get through this, just hoping there is no permanent damage in my right hand.
