I have to take a hiatus from the computer for an undetermined length of time. This is because I have been on it so constantly that my right pinkie on up to the elbow is constantly numb. Yep, like it has fallen asleep. I can't open the milk carton with that hand, push down a piano key with my pinkie, or turn pages of books or magazines with that hand very easily.
The first time it happened, I was pretty scared. I was thinking diabetes or blood clot. (Hypochondriac, anyone?) After several days off the computer, it went away. I started noticing a little trend. It's been numb for 3 days already, so apparently I have to self-impose a computer-ban so I don't lose function permanently.
I'll miss you all. It would be fantastic if nobody blogged while I'm gone. I know it's too much to ask.
BOO HOO!

It sounds like you might have a touch of carpal tunnel in your hand. It happens when you use the computer too much. If you get a wrist splint to wear when you are using the computer it helps. I have the same thing happen to me. My hand gets weak and hard to use at times.
I agree, forget the hiatus and get the splints. Never mind I want you to be happy, but I will miss you. Get better soon.
PS I have the same thing happen to me too.
I ment to say healthy not happy, thoug I want you to be happy too.
Hope you get feeling back soon. I KNOW you are reading this and not REALLY on Hiatus. You just wanted a break from having to come up with something clever to say on your blog to entertain us all right? I will miss you. Have a great vacation. Bring me back something great!
I think my TMJ is from yawning so much. Some things just can't be helped!
And you call yourself a blogger!! You need to be willing to suffer for your craft. Besides, we need you to post and comment!
I (the spy) know you are cheating right now reading my blog!!! Take care of that hand!! Stop it!!
Really, I hope it is ok, and have you made sure it is not carpel-tunnel syndrome?
We're missing you already!!
P.S. Thanks for being the super sub today!! We can always count on you to go bat.
