Or Not
We were trucking' right along there with the house stuff, really we were. Then the horrible tingly feeling in my hand(s) got much, much worse all of a sudden and it made me cry and I went to the doctor and he said I have Carpal Tunnel and that I have to give up knitting and I said, "You can't really just give up knitting." (Heathen.)
So that's why neither my housework nor my knitting is done. But I did manage to take a bunch of pictures at Elizabeth's surprise birthday party today. I don't think there have ever been that many people in that house, ever. There were the usual Orlanders, plus us, plus Rob and Nicole, and Steve, and Lisa Eve and Logan, and some lovely young ladies of Elizabeth's acquaintance. It was a fine, fine afternoon with much swimming, drinking of festive adult beverages, card-playing and no heavy lifting.
Is Zoe bad-ass or what?

SO sorry to hear about the hand woes. . . . here's hoping and praying you get some relief [and healing!] for it!
Best wishes.

So sorry about your diagnosis. Isn't there some sort of brace you can wear to help stabilize your wrist (that can allow you to continue with your hand-related activities, such as knitting)?

I have a couple of hurty hand stories too. I'll spare you and your gentle readers the details except to say there was physical therapy and LOTS of time involved. And I know what not to do to avoid the relapse.

Boo! Your doctor is crazy.
