Wrist update and MediaWest and job
Well, if your doctor tells you that you need to be evaluated by a neuro doc for carpal tunnel (or as I call, it, "fish hand"), be aware that it will hurt. A lot.
Upshot? I have some nerve damage to the base of my thumb area (pad below your thumb) of my right hand. It takes nerve impulses at least twice as long to cross that area as they should, an indicator of nerve damage and "fish hand". So now I'm in a stylish black wrist immobilizer and have a daily naproxen regimen for at least a month. Bummer.
I have a second interview at 7:15 Wednesday morning for a job that kind of fell out of the sky (I should say Monster), so maybe I'll be moving along soon. It's very different from what I'm doing, yet it's something I know I can do--it's just gratifying to have someone actually, I don't know, read my resume and come to the same conclusion. I'm just sayin'.
And I appear to have an extra bed at MediaWest. I am a dealer and a non-smoker. If you have an animal I'm good with that. Interested? Know someone who isn't insane who wants to share a room? Let me know.
I scored MAJOR friend points tonight. We were at Half Price Books and my friend was looking for some mysteries by Somebody Van Gulik. Lo and behold, a mass of them! But woe! Not the exact one he needed! Something made me say "Have you looked in the G's?" As one, we turned our heads. There were the rest of them, including the one he'd been looking for for over two years.
Yah, still got it.
After he did the standard "poke you with a pin"-type stuff, he had me lie down and shocked me with electricity. All down my arm, wrist, fingers. He was checking to see how long it took for the electrical impulses to go from one point to another, which is apparently an indicator of nerve damage. That was actually kinda cool, as he made my whole arm jump like the dead rats used to to in high school biology after the teacher shocked them. (Or was that just my school?)
Then, well, the needles came out and the pain started. He would jab a needle in my arm (upper, forearm, wrist, several points on my hand), and run some kind of pain ray into my flesh, which I could actually hear on the computer. Eeeeeew. This seemed to check for some other kind of nerve problem, and it really hurt. This from a woman whose sports of choice were fencing and Cha Yon Ryu martial arts--bruise city, baby.
