Another Hurdle…
Just when I start feeling better and back on track, I injure my wrist! I’ve been doing a lot of work around the house whenever I get off from work. Add that to the fact that I work in the computer industry all day long. And now my wrist/hand has been hurting all week. I can’t exactly pinpoint the source of the pain in my hand. But it definately hurts whenever I apply pressure or twist my wrist around. I doubt it’s carpal tunnel… yet. But I’m not planning to put anymore stress on my hand and wrist this week. So I’ve decided to take a week off from lifting until it heals completely. But at least I can still do some cardio. I hate the fact that I have to take time off from lifting because of that. But I really don’t want to injure my hand. I’m right-handed. And so far this week, I feel halfway crippled because I’ve been using my left arm for most of my normal daily tasks to take pressure off from my right hand. And at night, I wrap my right hand in ACE bandage to prevent twisting during sleep. I hope it heals to 100% by this weekend so I can get back to lifting.
