Woke up swollen all over and in a terrible world of pain in my hands and arms. I've taken a volta ren and now I'm huddling with my heating pad. Man, this sucks. I'm paying, I'm sure, for the cleaning I did yesterday with said hands. I'm to the point where I can type, though. I think it's going to be okay once the medication kicks in fully.
I will now take to the fainting couch and apply myself to some TV watching.
Cleaning and hands is a big deal for me. Anything that gets my hands wet is extra bad. Wet, cold, and bumped-into especially. I use dish scrubbers with handles so I don't have to touch a sponge or get my hands wet if I'm careful. But stuff like taking wet laundry out of the washer... ugh, painful.

Volta ren gel is awesome stuff. I also bought myself a wax bath for my hands and it, too, rocks.
