It’s been two weeks since my carpal tunnel decompression, everything’s healing nicely and if it weren’t for the fact my left hand’s gone completely pain crazy – it’s been doing the work of two hands for a fortnight and has developed the same symptoms as my right, with added pain just to make things interesting – I’d be quite chirpy. The operation was quick and perfectly pleasant, the scar’s going to be a tiny thing, and while I can’t exactly go around punching nuns I can type, peel potatoes, hold a pint glass, drive cars… the important things, really.

I need to keep my computer use light for a bit longer, so I doubt I’ll be blogging for a bit yet, but I wanted to say thanks for the reading recommendations and for the good wishes. They were very much appreciated.

PS I’ve filed this under “cuttings”. I’m hilarious, me.
