Spraining My Wrist
I sprained my right wrist.
I'm right-handed. Stupid.
It has been a few days since I woken up and found my right wrist too tender to be normal. It was similar to a baby's neck, needing support to prevent it from hanging backwards, snapping right off. Slight movement came with a pain I've gotten familiar with from multiple past injuries. I knew I was screwed.
Problem is, I don't remember what I have done to cause such an injury. Surely I would have noticed if my muscles and tendons, or whatever you call it, were strained beyond their capabilities; but no, the mystery of my injury is still unsolved, and my mum blames it on everything especially my laptop cause I've been typing so much.
I would not have told my family, but not being able to wash my plates or tie my hair sort of gave me away. I still can type with my wrist resting on the laptop through sheer stubborness, chat with friends, watch movies and read books, but I still couldn't do many things and it was agonising. I'm filled with guilt as I cannot do any house chores. I cannot practise any music because the first time I tried to ignore the pain and just do it, I've aggravated it. The only workout I can do is jogging and I've never noticed folding my blankets requires so much hands flexibility.
It's definitely getting better but I can still feel some stiffness if I put too much pressure. I can't wait to go back being the Hulk or Wreck-it Ralph of the family again. Not being able to open a jar of olives had me questioning my independence.
