my hands have been hurting for almost 3 months now and ive been wearing a brace and everything and they havent improved at all??? its so fustrating bc i cant draw as much and i cant even lift heavy stuff or do some hand movements without being in pain. My hands used to be perfectly fine :(
Thanks Ash! I don't live in an unsafe area, and gunshots would be unusual but I am a little bitch baby and I'm thoroughly spooked.
I do live in a somewhat dangerous place. Folks found a corpse in a ditch less than a mile from us one time iirc. Also we sometimes get police searchers comong through which is rough. But we got neighbors who will probably shoot intruders so all's well ig.
Also I just ate a TON of ice cream. Currently wondering if I'm gonna regret that decision.

Are you lactose intolerant gang as well?
Nah it was just a lot of ice cream. I do not regret.

do you have an official diagnosis? It might not be something a brace can fix, or it could even be making it worse. There's a lot of bones and tendons in the hand and wrist, which means a lot could be wrong.

I went to a general doctor and he said I probably have carpal tunnel but I dont think I do because Im pretty sure you get that from overuse and both my hands hurt even though I'm right handed

hm. "probably" is the problem, cause its so common and easy to diagnose. Carpal Tunnel shouldn't be present in both hands, and wearing a brace and taking it easy should be helping, not increasing the pain. I would maybe see a specialist doctor or try again, keep a list of symptoms and where things hurt, or if certain activities are hurting more than others. Grip strength is another thing to test/keep an eye on. Pretty much keep a log cause it can help get a proper diagnosis

yeah i'll see if i can go to a specialist
thanks for the advice!
Slightly annoyed rant:
I just got trampled by a 246 pound sheep, still managed to keep a hold of him because my parents needed me to catch him, ended up literally wrestling said massive sheep, who is probably twice my size, still managed to catch him despite getting kicked repeatedly while said sheep was on top of me.
But yes mom, I will go and mow the yard for you now. No problem. Thanks for the concern. I'm not bleeding from several cuts, and I don't have slightly bruised ribs or anything like that. It's fine.
Rough.
Genshin Impact rant because I can't get enough of this game-
I absolutely adore Venti i don't want to leave Mondstadt and this guy is such a bard it's ridiculous
He can literally be in grave danger and continue to insult people with rhymes i love him so much
I want to be his friend but in real life, we both like poetry, windy days, singing and being generally chaotic also I feel like he'd give good hugs
God, Venti is so good. He's babey. But also I feel like he's the definition of "be gay, do crimes"
he 100% is
But ofc i have to do the crimes for him, because he can't handle a stealth mission-
His crimes are tax fraud
This went from the Venting Chat to the Venti Chat really quickly
Close enough asjdfjsklda
My mom needs to stop calling me before noon unless she actually NEEDS something.
Like she knows I wake up late, and that of she calls me, she'll be waking me up. Which is maybe the idea. But waking up before noon won't do me any good if I was up late.
I'm a whole ass adult, and I don't want wake up calls from my mother <3
I can't turn the ringer off though because I could get another call, or if I've set an alarm, it needs to be on to ring. There's really no good solution, and asking her to stop just seems like asking to get yelled at.
I played a bard with a reputation for roasting the wrong people in a campaign and we had to do a stealth mission. I failed horribly and our rogue just muttered quietly in his mic "goddammit it's just like the venti mission."
I played a bard once, I was sneaking through an alley and ran into a trash can after failing a stealth check. An old lady heard me and looked out of her window, and I then tried and failed to make a convincing cat noise so I think we can conclude that bards aren't very stealthy
My bard wasn't the least stealthy party member at least lol
But uh. The player (me) has negative charisma and our DM penalized me on rolls multiple times because I said dumb shit while trying to be persuasive.
It's me. I'M the tone deaf bard! ;-;
One time–Idk if I was playing as a bard or a paladin–I was chasing a stalker and just barely rolled high enough to hide against the wall of an alley, but I got my foot stuck in a pot. After a few seconds passed I rolled to kick it off and got nat20. Knocked my stalker out w a flying pot. Favorite moment.
Hot take: I don't like Dnd as much as some other ttrpg systems, such as powered by the apocalypse. It's way too intricate for me to remember all the rules and stuff, and while nat 1/nat 20 moments can be funny af, they're very frequently out of character. Your sharpshooter isn't going to make a blunder so bad they hurt themself or a party member. It's super dumb to have to roll for EVERYTHING you do. Like if I have a rogue, they should just be able to make a simple athletics/acrobatics action without a check. Or for example, in a monster of the week campaign I've been doing, I have a professional monster hunter/sharpshooter, and she more or less auto hits, because why would she miss? I know it depends on the dm, but that just bugs me.

On some phones, you can set up do not disturb which only allows certain callers to ring, or alarms. Can you try setting that up, maybe? That way if she calls you, it won't ring, but if someone on your allowed list calls, it will, and alarms should still go off
👀👀👀 Thanks for the tip! I will maybe try that
