newsflash of the day

it turns out i don't actually have carpal tunnel . . . i know, what the fuck? i went to physical therapy today and it was quickly determined that this is what's actually wrong with me, and i've been given some back/shoulder exercises to do, and been told to STAND UP STRAIGHT, GODDAMMIT! only in nice PT terms, of course. ah, posture. i guess i should have been sticking my chest out all those years after all.

two awesome pieces of awesomeness that are the result of this diagnosis:

a) NO MORE SPLINTS!

b) i am allowed to knit again! in moderation.

That's great news! Let us know what you decide to knit as you triumphantly return to the craft!

I have the same problem, and a chiropractor has helped me immensely.
