Good cardio, and about 2/3 of a very up session with Emilie, then I felt the energy drop and we did the rest more slowly and carefully.

My hands are not as happy. I saw my GP on Tuesday to check into a mix of left hand issues (notably waking with the hand stiff and hurting many mornings) and one episode of forearm pain on the same side. The doctor thinks it may be tendonitis, and said to buy a brace to wear at night and take moderately large doses of anti-inflammatories. I was worried I'd have trouble falling asleep with the brace on; that hasn't happened. Wednesday morning I woke up and the hand didn't hurt, which was encouraging, but yesterday and this morning it did. However, the instructions are to do this for 7-14 days, and if it isn't better, the next step is a nerve conduction study to try to identify where the problem is. Based on my descriptions of the problems, she said it could be either of at least two, maybe three. So, brace at night, and 375 mg of naproxen twice a day (a normal over-the-counter pill is 200 mg, and the OTC packaging says take one or two but no more than a total of three in 24 hours). And then I think I overused it at work this afternoon. I'm hoping the long weekend, and my planned trip to Montreal, will help me to not spend too much time at the keyboard (this doesn't mean not chatting with people, it means not refreshing DW/LJ over and over, or spending lots of time doing Sudoku puzzles). The closest I have to weekend plans involve time in Inwood Hill Park, and maybe some dim sum if I don't sleep too late on Sunday.
