Numb fingers
tingle hands burning
What’s the deal
Your failing
After all these years typing
How could you do that
*
Getting old
Tendon overload
Short circuits
Jolting pain
You click away, wrist lights up
Can’t stop now
*
Fingers, please don’t fail me
You must help
I’ll slow down
You still have more words to type
Carpal tunnel hurts
Today at d’Verse, Grace asked us to write a poem personifying a body part. I chose to write about my hand that seems to be developing carpal tunnel syndrome. My fingers get numb and sometimes I wake up in the night with my hand feeling like it is on fire. I have cut back on my typing, switched to my left hand for the mouse, got a wrist brace, and do some exercises to stretch out the tendons. It is much better that it was a couple of months ago.
