So it turns out I have a touch of carpal tunnel (which is apparently reversible) and a combination of my own and the doctor's solutions, I am on the mend. (Though it could be the 800 mg of pain reliever talking.)
In any case, my fabulous link list is getting long so tonight, I'm working it… Here are the links that helped heal me, or at least made were worth tweaking my wrist to read, organized with the help of the twelve steps to recovery.
1. We admitted we were powerless–that our lives had become unmanageable.

2. Came to believe that a power greater than ourselves could restore us to sanity.

Stay healthy!
