Repetitive Stress Injury. I play guitar. I code all day at work. I often code and type at home. My right wrist, mouse-hand, has been been getting very painful lately. On Friday, after a full week of hardcord coding, I could barely use it. Work has been great, providing me with a desk that I can adjust the height on, phone-books for the screen and various other piles of advice. Obviously I'm just going to have to be more careful.

It got me thinking though. I've often daydreamed (daymared?) about life without sight or hearing or the use of my limbs. It's nasty. It's the sort of thing that is likely to be sudden.

This pain isn't sudden. I've often had pains in my joins. Dad has arthritis in some of his joints. What if I got arthritis? What if I couldn't play guitar anymore? Couldn't work? It's terrifying. And more so if it came on slowly.

I'd keep trying and trying until eventually the pain would become too much and I'd have to give up.

Happy Sunday.
