I have a wrist brace on now, courtesy of four years straight of drawing. I've been having HORRIBLE carpal tunnel, where I've basically fallen asleep crying, lost sleep and not been paying attention in class because my wrist hurt so badly. And my teachers didn't believe me because my DOCTOR didn't diagnose it.
...It was so bad, my mom diagnosed it. She used to be a nurse.
So we went to the local pharmacy and now I have to wear this wrist brace every single time my wrist hurts. It hurts to handwrite, but typing really isn't a problem, because I took typing classes for four years of my life, and how you held your wrists was about 25% of the grade. No lie. So if I try participating in a class, it hurts, but typing to you doesn't. It's sooo weird.
But every time I try to participate in a class, I have to wear the wrist brace. And it's so weird, because I have to write around it. And now my handwriting looks like a dyslexic fourth-grader did it.
Maybe a cautionary tale in not drawing every single day for four hours with no breaks for four years in a row? Or just a cautionary tale on the pain of a wrist brace.
