Just joined Band of Buggered Forumboard. Since Big Bad Board no longer has a fanfic corner I thought I might just as well.
Visited Nauti's site to find directions to Older, but apparently I'm too dumb. *shrug*

My wrist hurts. Can hardly move it. It's my right wrist, the one with the complicated fracture from my one and only attempt at ice-skating. It got operated but has a scar and is neither as mobile nor as resistant as it used to be. And two days ago I hurled a few crates of water and soda around. Since then it worsened. Today I went swimming with Tina and we played ball, enjoyed the water slides and everything. But the dull ache turned into real pain. I can type with the wrist resting on my notebook, but I am unable to lift my writst off the computer without pain. *sigh*

I should translate more Fell Beasts and Wonderous Magic, but it's hot and I'm exhausted. Also I'm feeling peckish. Wouldn't mind a large portion of Dutch patat frites (French fries) with mayonaise, ketchup and chopped onions. When it's hot I always crave salty potato stuff like chips or fries....

God, I'd kill for a nap!

Patatje oorlog?

You've got strange tastes ... for someone who's not Dutch, at least. Next you'll be telling me you like to eat your herring whole and raw and covered in chopped onions like us too, or put away a pound of salty licorice every day...

Sorry to hear about your wrist. Hope it improves soon.

Sorry about your wrist. I hope it feels better, especially when typing can be so much fun!

Ouch. It sounds like you have a similar problem to me. In my case a broken wrist that wasn't diagnosed for 6 weeks, combined with torn tendons and blood vessels, followed up with 7 weeks in a cast. I still have problems if I don't do weights to strengthen the muscles to counteract the damaged area. The symptoms are just like yours. I find using a tubigrip bandage (one of those elasticated ones) doubled over with a whole for my thumb and from the second knuckle to the elbow, for a day or so puts it back to functional - and me to the gym. It'll be really hot in this weather to do it, but it works for me. Might do for you. I hope it helps.
