All kinds of progress have been slow over here, this week. Last week, I had another coldy lurgy and spent two and a half days at home when I would normally have been at work, mostly on the sofa with my beloved laptop. I reckon that's why this is now necessary:
I don't like using a mouse when on the sofa, and using the trackpad requires me to reach down onto my lap, then bend my wrist back. Combine that with wiggling your hand from side to side, and, well, it seems to be Not Good. Hardly surprising, really, but Not Good nonetheless.
Knitting makes it hurt. Using a mouse makes it hurt. Heck, typing without support makes it hurt, and even with support I have to be careful to reach by moving my arm, not stretching with my fingers. Even spinning makes it hurt. (I know! How??)
Just to be clear, it doesn't hurt *badly*, but one of my greatest fears is losing or compromising the use of my hands. So I'm being as careful as possible.
So, knitting daily? Not so much.
Take care honey. Been there, and it's not fun. Big hugs.

Poor you. I have more problems with computer mice and how I use them than through constant knitting. I'm sure a bit of a rest will sort it out (and that hand brace thingie, it looks like it will do the business!)
