This is what happens when you overdo it:
Last Wednesday, while I volunteered I sent out emails for three hours, clicking probably 3000 times in the process because of the way personalizing each email was setup. My thumb, probably already aggravated by my tendency to overtext, gave out and turned into full blown tendinitis. Yesterday I got a splint for my right hand, and immediately my left thumb, which had been sprained in May and never fully healed, started acting up into an early case of tendinitis. Hence, the matching splint on my left hand today.
Thankfully, I have my best friend KT to pull me out of tears and feeling like a complete idiot by telling me it's human nature to overdo things, that it's probably frustrating just to have these things on and not have the mobility I normally do (it is), I won't look like an idiot, the priority is to let it heal, and that it's important to be okay with it and just let it be. Then she came over with an iced coffee and told me it was stylish, and I'd probably start a new trend.
Thank God for best friends.
