RSI Hurts
Wednesday, April 06, 2005
  Wasted Inspiration Sometimes I get inspired and my words begin to flow naturally. Words come to my mind faster than I can record them, and I end up typing at a furious pace to try and catch all the ideas.

Last night I had one of those moments. I was jotting down some notes in Microsoft Word while watching television. Suddenly, I had so much to say, and I could not get it all down fast enough. I forgot about what I was watching and instead concentrated on the thoughts that were flowing into my head.

I ended up typing so fast that my right hand fell off. Well, it didn't really fall off, but it sure felt like it was going to. It was throbbing, sharp, and numb all at the same time.

I needed to stop typing, so I went to bed. I felt so guilty that I was wasting all the new inspiration in my head, but I knew that resting was the right thing to do for my health.

A blog (weblog) about my firsthand experiences with RSI. RSI is short for repetitive strain injury and is sometimes interchangeable with the term "carpal tunnel".
