Arthritis

Yesterday, at age 33, I was diagnosed with osteoarthritis. It explains the problems I've been having with my left hand -- but it still sucks. A lot.

For any of you who may not know me well, or who haven't read this before, let me scan over my hobbies for you:

• I play cards (regular and Magic: the Gathering)
• I knit, crochet, counted crossstitch
• I type. Lots. I am on the internet pretty much any time I'm not asleep or doing one of the things above.

Sure, I read a lot, too, but usually WHILE doing one of the handcrafts. Screwing with how my hands work is messing up my whole life.

But I am secure. I am a mighty woman of God. I am clothed with strength and dignity. God has given me security in him, and no diagnosis can take that away.

But I'm still pissed about it.
