Ow....Ooooowwww....

First of all, work was fine, I really enjoyed it. Amanda is super nice and she was quite impressed by me. But I am so tired, because I couldn't sleep last night. Honestly...I was tired last night too, and yet 2:00 am rolled around and I was still tossing and turning and staring at my ceiling. Weird.
Anyway, the reason my title is an expression of pain because of my right wrist. I don't know how I did it...maybe pulled it lifting trays and stuff at the Belcher. Anyway, the muscle on the left side of my wrist is quite swollen. It kinda hurt at work today, but my watch was supporting it so it didn't bother me that much. But when I got home it super hurt. I took off my watch, and did some "tests".
1. Wiggle fingers...doesn't hurt.
2. Bend wrist down...nope...
3. Bend wrist up...nothing yet.
4. Touch swollen area...yeah, a little.
5. Stretch hand and fingers...owowow...
6. Bend wrist to the left....frick, ow...
7. Bend wrist to the right (directly stretching the swollen muscle)...OH HOLY GOD HELL OH SHIT DAMN!
So I am sitting, eating dinner, not manuevering my fork very well. At last, I was like "Fuck, Mom, can you take a look at my wrist, it's super sore?" She looks at it, and feels the lump. She asks me to bend it more. Owowowow. And finally, she makes her diagnoses.
"You've sprained your wrist."
What?
So she gets the bandage from the medicine cabinet and wraps my hand and wrist up. It's a long bandage so it's almost to my elbow. It feels a bit better, but I have to wear it for a few days, possibly a week, and it's very sweaty and hot inside and a little itchy, and I don't like how it looks. I'm very surprised I sprained it...the last time I sprained my wrist was in grade...I dunno...nine? And it hurt more that time. But this was different...the pain came gradually. Huh.
Frick, it looks retarded!!!
