Recent red sights around the hamlet

I'm still pre-occupied by my swollen, painful wrist. It's a strange maladie that I have. When I get up in the morning, the pain is severe and the swelling is at its worst. I take a single Ibuproven pill (2 mg) as soon as I've eaten my breakfast croissant (shared with Tasha). Then I wait. I go about my life, includin my daily walks with the dog. After lunch, the swelling goes down and the pain is much attenuated. Is it because I've eaten lunch? It's a mystery. Anyway, I spend a pleasant afternoon without much pain.


I don't take any more pills after that early morning one. The evening is pleasant too. I do smear some Ibuprofen gel on the wrist afternoon and evening, though. When bedtime comes, I sleep comfortably for eight or nine hours.

The next morning, I rinse and repeat: my half of a crossant, a cup or two of tea with milk and sugar, and then an Ibuprofen. The swelling has come back overnight. Last night I woke up at midnight and needed to get up. I felt no pain and there was no swelling around the wrist. And this morning the pain is much less acute than it was yesterday morning. I'll go see the doctor again next week... unless the pain and swelling go away before then.
