It's jam night tonight. Been waiting to do it for a week. But I can't play tonight, I screwed up my wrist and I don't know how. I woke up Sunday morning and it was a little bit sore but nothing I haven't dealt with before, chalked it up to aging, complained that getting older sucks, and went about my business for the day. That business involved my daughter's birthday and me and the wife loading the kids up and heading to the waterslides. Awesome, right? Yeah, except for when my son and I got on a slide, I bent my already sore wrist way too far back or something and something went "snap crackle pop"....but it still wasn't unbearable, so we kept riding. Monday morning, I go to work and had to do some heavy lifting first thing. Not too much of a problem, a little soreness, nothing too bad. Come home, sit down, eat, watch some TV, wrist starts to REALLY ache...I'm like "wtf"?? Wake up this morning and the damn thing hurts so bad I begin to question if it's broken or not...so I hit up the store before work and buy a brace to wear. Pop some ibuprofen...hit the job. It hasn't gotten any better. So now I am home. Can't play. I'm sad. I'm just going to hang out, listen to some tunes and have a couple beers, got an ice pack on it....just gonna kick back and pout about it for a while.
 
Im going to refrain from the obvious "wrist injury jokes.........................;) ;) " and just say
THAT SUCKS ! --- sorry man
 
I feel your pain..... sorta. Way back when I was learning to play I dorked out a couple times and injured my left hand at work. Slight fracture the first time. Had just recouped from that and was getting back in the game when I crushed the tip of my ring finger. That one sucked...... and took longer to heal.

And since I would appear to be a tad older (read parental age) I would suggest seeing the doc if it doesn’t start getting better on its own.
 
I'm just bummed. We jam twice a week. I look forward to that all week, every week lol

Oh well. Unless it's going to be amputated, we will jam another day...maybe tomorrow, maybe next week.
 
Sorry. I don't really mean to bitch and moan. But really, I don't have anything else to do now that jam night is off...:LOL:
 
Lol

I'm right handed and the afflicted wrist is the left....

But that doesn't mean that I didn't sit on it until it was numb sometime last week.....

Feels like a drunken clumsy stranger that way...
 
SEE you tried it ---- "its like dating a different girl" they told you --- ignored them for years you did -- then -- in a moment of boredom............INJURY!

BUWAAHAHAHA

Lol...

I'm just sayin'...

Better than nada :LOL:

As far as the Wa. State reference, I would encourage you NOT to Google Mr. Hands, and thus discover what us crazy-ass PNW people can be...

Have y'all ANY idea how many serial killers came from WA? Lol?

No but really though, I'm getting dangerously close to my forties. Me and the old lady have been together 14 years now. I don't have[get] to masturbate like some dirty teenager anymore.
 
Do you have any plans to see a hand/wrist speacialist? I think you should based on your description of the worsening symptoms. There may be another stage of injury if you ignore it further.

Yes. I figure if it's not getting somewhat better by tomorrow's end, I will submit to seeing a doctor. I don't like doctors, because I tend to have a cowboy attitude about things...however, growing up seems to change that view lol

I don't care if I'm 93; in my heart I'll always be 17.
