You know that prickly, buzzy feeling you get when a body part falls asleep? My entire right arm has been doing that ALL DAY. And now I can’t feel my hand.
You might be asking how I’m writing this. And I would say, the same way I’ve been typing letters and designing banners and generally using my mouse WAY too much today.
Pure dumb determination.
That, and because the idea of asking my boss if I can go home "because my hand feels icky" sounds unbelievably pathetic. Also? I’ve experienced so many minor medical issues in the last four months that I’m convinced I’ll be classified as a hypochondriac if I actually go to the doctor for this.
It’s probably just a pinched nerve or something. I think I’ll continue to ignore it and hope it goes away.
Just watch – I’ll wake up in the morning and my hand will be totally DEAD. “Oh GOD, NOoOooOooooo! Just when I discovered that I really DO love data entry! What will I do without my HAAAAANNNDD?!”
