The Arcade, and Shock Therapy

by Slack, on June 23rd, 2005

So, tonight I will post BEFORE I take that damn Ambien… I got to see the damn hand therapist today. For those not in the know, I have De Quervain’s Disease… W00t! WebMD has a nice little article about it. Best I can tell, I got it from replacing a metric ass-ton of phones at Spacely back around my birthday. Whatever. Shit happens. Just this shit fucking hurts! For the first couple weeks I pretty much had to keep my thumb perfectly still to avoid pain. Of course my failure to do so provided my co-workers at Spacely a bit of entertainment. These days, however, after the cortisone shot it is feeling MUCH better. I have about 85% of my range of motion back. The damn Finklestein Test still makes me jump like someone just shoved bamboo under my nails. Apparently this physical therapy is supposed to take care of that tho… Whatever. I have little faith in this type of thing. I’m far too tired to go into it, but the gist is I think these fuckers are just out for a buck… More than they have my interests at heart anyway… We shall see. I go back on Friday.

In other news, I’m adding another cartoon to my toon block. I’ll thank my boss at Spacely for this one. Gotta love Penny Arcade… I know K and T showed this to me a long time ago, but I never got hooked… Yeah, I’m officially hooked now. What’s worse is I have this horrible comic OCD where I have to read from the very beginning. I’m up to October of 2001 so far…
