It was amazingly gorgeous out this weekend in normally-cold MN (it was hot!) and my messy garden was calling. So I raked up the rest of the dead stuff and pulled out plants that were missed last fall. I took it slow and tried not to over-use my arms because I have carpal tunnel issues in both wrists. And it doesn't make your wrists hurt at all, its your arms and elbows that are aching, the hands are numb to the point of pain and everything swells up. Well, early Sunday morning around 3:45 am I wake up and with excruciating pain in my left arm, so much that I took a leftover Vicodin from my hubby's back injury supply and proceeded to go downstairs to keen and curl up in the fetal position on the couch with my arm hanging over the edge, to wait it out with a Law & Order marathon on TNT. The meds finally kicked in after and hour and a half and I could go back to sleep fitfully as the pain doesn't go away totally, just enough to relax and go to sleep. I have surgery
