As Debby Taylor was saying to Wendy Apgar:
 DT> I'm glad to hear that you have more energy.  Have you ever noticed
 DT> though you don't mind hurting as much when fun casues the pain instead
 DT> of work?  I got hurt at work and I whined and complained, and fussed
 DT> etc.  I get hurt riding my horse and I comment on hurting then laugh
 DT> and comment on deserving it.  The moral of this is that if you are

 Exactly. I think many of us who deal with chronic pain
 make choices about what we are willing to do for what pain
 it will cause. There are things that I will do and then pay
 the price in added pain and things that I will not do.
 DT> Thats to bad.  It really slows your recovery time.
 
 Not to mention that I heal slower anyway.
 
 DT> I hope this helps.  It sure is hard not to use your primary hand.  I
 DT> hope that you aren't clumsy.  I'm left handed and I kept falling and
 DT> catching myself with my left hand.  I hurt my left wrist 2 years ago
 DT> picking up a bag of 4 avacados.  Only I could do that.  Its not
 DT> well but for the last month I have been able to pick up a small sauce
 DT> pan with my left hand.
 
 The cortisone shot did help, although my hand still aches
 sometimes. Now it's my left hand intermittantly. A nerve
 was accidentally hit when they drew blood this week and it
 caused the pain originally. I'm assuming this will go away
 with time, especially since I can't even predict what causes
 the pain.
