My mother is a medical biller, and the vast majority of her job involves typing on a computer. So when she got it a year or two ago, at the back of my mind, I knew it was only a matter of time before I got it, since I do a lot of typing between school work and fiction.

And sure enough, last week, the pain started.

So now I apparently have carpal tunnel syndrome. It's early enough along that I can probably heal it within a week or so, if not sooner, if I keep this brace on.

Speaking of which, trying to type this and work the mouse with the brace is DRIVING ME NUTS.
