I know you've painted pieces before, and i've always wanted to; i just never took the time. oh, i do know what you mean. in most other ways i'm feeling really well right now. the agitation about not being able to work has subsided and although i still have to fight with myself from time to time to not become anxious, i have adapted quite well. i have gotten good as i'm aging at not allowing things i can't do anything about to bother me. current POTUS excluded. i have, finally, seen some improvement, at least i think so. i am keeping it wrapped during the day and for the first time the last two mornings when i woke up, i didn't "feel" it. as soon as i start doing things it perks up but that's a start. it gave me some good hope. :) thanks, meridy. xoxoNorbelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08210984465185298585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-533782912333386427.post-19742602329681322692017-01-18T10:12:39.918-08:002017-01-18T10:12:39.918-08:00Norbel, the earrings are simply gorgeous!

Gaaah, why can't we just always FEEL WONDERFUL, and not have these things going on??! I hope you begin to notice improvement and feel better soon...I miss your vibrant spirit, and I know you are chafing at the bit to get back to your normal active self.

This pair is beautiful! I do hope you arm gets better with some rest and gentle treatment. Perhaps even a gentle massage?

For me, rest did the trick as well as stretchy tape which my physiotherapist taped on top of my hand and wrist. It did look silly and I never believed it worked, but it did. <br />The earrings are beautiful. No wire but so "Norbel". Wonderful color and material use.

I'm sorry you are going through that. Having had it happen to me a few times, you are doing the right thing. I have so far always been able to recover by easing off of the things that are causing it. You sure managed to create some beautiful earrings with very little plier usage. I'm glad you enjoy the painting, I think it's so much fun and you did a beautiful job!KristiBowmanDesignhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10015584159659853422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-533782912333386427.post-76958964526432492852017-01-17T06:55:57.605-08:002017-01-17T06:55:57.605-08:00So sorry your wrist is hurting, Norbel---you are s...So sorry your wrist is hurting, Norbel---you are smart to avoid the pliers for now.
