Hey Sophieh,
Thanks for the comment! I tend to agree, so when I wrote it I kept that in the top of my mind. Which is why there’s so much teasing in there… I’m glad it did its job. :)
Also, the thing that I have isn’t all that common. So there’s not much more than scholarly info — pubmed type stuff about it online. I was very frustrated by that part. The risk being loss of ROM in my wrist, leaving me with a permanent physical disability if doc hadn’t done it right. Which as a pretend musician was terrifying.
In the end it was funny a lot, scary even more and depressing in those days when I didn’t believe the pain would ever stop and I wrote in the unknown that I felt all those years. This made my habit of switching tense mid-sentence much more difficult to avoid. LOL.
Anyway, thank you for reading. Recovery is going pretty good, only one small complication I’m working through now.
