I have to be careful of knitting too much as well. Sigh. I found a gel pad for my wrist – both at my keyboard and mousepad – made a WORLD of difference.

I know it would be a hard switch for me because after all these years I think typing has become part of my thinking/writing process. But maybe a little time invested now could save time/pain etc in future. Hasn't Fiona done this? Hope the keyboard arrives...just don't over do it! lx Maybe time to thinking about using Dragon or one of the other voice to text programmes even if it’s just for the blogs etc just to save your hands a bit.

Hope you feel better soon! And it is a great excuse to read :-D (I always feel such an idiot having my wrists strapped up then having to explain, no I wasn't doing some amazing mechanical feat that went wrong, just using a keyboard! especially as Big G is a welder and is the type of bloke who'll have half his wrist hanging off and gaffer tape it up!!)

I hope the new keyboard helps. When you write again schedule some breaks and massage your hands frequently. Do what you need to do so you can write comfortably. Pain and twitching are not part of the plan! Take care of yourself. I hope the new keyboard helps. When you write again schedule some breaks and massage your hands frequently.

Happy reading in the meantime. I sprayed five cans of scotchguard on new sofas on the weekend and couldn't use my right hand for two hours. Luckily it was only temporary, but shucks there goes any aspirations for a career as a grafitti artist. Hugs Julie, hope the keyboard arrives soon. Happy reading in the meantime.
