It's always something

I found out why I have so much pain in my right hand. I have broken a bone. No wonder it hurts! I spent two weeks getting over the pain of driving to Nashville. I kept my hand just resting on the steering wheel or in lap for two weeks. Plus, I avoid using it for daily living.

When anyone extends a hand to shake mine, I almost shake the hand and then recoil. Plus, switching to my left hand is a habit now, making the left hand overworked. I have a brace that was not fitted and hurts my hand, so I don't wear it. Hopefully, I can get it fitted at next appointment.

That is how I have lived the last two weeks, avoiding using my hand. I ask for a half gallon of milk, and refuse to handle it, asking the person to put it in the basket of the electric cart.

How can I type, you may wonder. I don't pound the keys and never have, I keep my fingers flat to keep carpal tunnel from getting worse. You cannot hear me type. Some people hit the keys on my computer so hard that I ask them to stop.

Right now, my hand hurts a bit, but I overworked Monday. Three loads of laundry were too much for my right hand.

There were few dishes in the dishwasher, but I got them out. I struggled to load it again. About three hours later, I looked in. ALL THE DISHES were just as dirty. There was no water! Remember, the guy turned off the water to water heater, so I have no water going into the dishwasher. UGH! Now, the dirty dishes have been baked by the dishwasher. I just cannot wash them, now.

Hopefully, the dishwasher is not ruined by running it without water. What do you think?

This is one more expense and pain in the neck for me if I ruined it.  I still don't have the money for the utility bill. This is wearing me down! And, my hand is so useless!

I must wash my hair in cold water and go to the free lunch today. The weather was beautiful yesterday and will be today. And, there will be music.
