OW, My Wrists!

Colbert Report WristStrongI don't know what I've done to my wrists, but they hurt like the dickens (where did that phrase come from anyway?). I thought maybe I was suffering a little bit of carpel tunnel as it started in my right mousing wrist, but today they both hurt.

At least I'm not alone with my wrist problems. If you watch The Colbert Report on Comedy Central, you know that Stephen Colbert recently broke his wrist and has started the WristStrong campaign to raise awareness of of wrist injuries. He even has a WristStrong Bracelet available to show your support. You can buy one on the Comedy Central site and proceeds go to the Yellow Ribbon Fund, an organization that assists injured service members and their families while they recuperate at the Walter Reed Army Medical Center and the National Naval Medical Center.

I may have to get one of those.
