I lied a bit in the post above. My mother never was like this emoticon 
She does miss the roaring rage qualities.

  My mother could really holler! 

So can mine. She's a yowler.

Mine never really yelled or yowled,  she could achieve pretty much the same effect with just an angry stare,  you just knew you were in deep shit

What did you do?

I'm turning in a lefthanded person at the moement.

Weird thing, some fine motor skills still work reasonably well and painless in the right hand. But I do notice an automated change to using the left when it comes to opening doors, taps, and jars.

Time to see a doctor tomorrow.

What's with your right hand?

What's with your right hand?

Don't know. All my extremities ache a bit, nothing too unusual there. But my right hand now barely functions in some ways. Can't close or open a tap or a lock, can barely open a door. Can type a bit, but not if my hand needs to spread too much. Thumb and index finger are the worst. Pain radiates to elbow and shoulder. But it does not feel at all like an RSI. Nor does it feel like my hands were five years ago. Finer motor skills still go reasonably well. I could knit (because I taught myself to do it the German/Scandinavian way), draw, and write a bit two days ago. But lifting a cup of tea is nearly impossible.

Understaffed at GP because of holidays. But, they'll see me tomorrow. When the assistant heard my problem, she backed of telling how little space they had and said I really needed to come.

About a month ago I did snap my thumb backwards with a heavy bag falling and me just catching it. Maybe this is a delayed reaction on that.

Hope it is not something like a tear in a bone or sinew. Since today the thumb and index finger do look a little bit swollen too.

I hope you get it sorted out quickly.

Sounds a bit like carpal tunnel, hope you find an answer soon hyke.

No carpal tunnel verdict. Probably strained and overstressed it by the impact of that bag a while ago. And, possibly moved something the wrong way in my wrist too, because yesterday evening, I felt something change and I could do way more than before.
Advise is to keep wearing my splint at night (had it still lying around, so had started using it) give it some rest, and if things are not improving within two weeks to come back.

So far, so good. Got an excuse to bum around a bit more.

  I'm sorry about your sore hoof, but impressed that you are adapting.


  My boss is left-handed, yet uses her right hand to chop things, and serves food with both hands at once.

This morning I picked up a pot from the table and brought it to the kitchen saying two flowerpots on the table was a bit much.
Walking further I looked down and thought: "This isn't a flowerpot"





"This is a teapot".

  My teeth are very breakable.  I watched a TV special about an ancient Egyptian pharaoh,
  thousands of years old, and his mummy still has a full mouth of teeth.  Makes me feel ...  inadequate.
