Wrist Brace
My latest acquisition in the fight against possible RSI is this wrist brace. 
I have to make sure it’s not fastened too tightly around my wrist, or it seems to interfere a little bit with circulation. It has made my wrist (I just bought the right brace so far, to see how well it does) feel better while wearing it, though sitting here right now (sans brace), my wrist still bothers me enough that I want to gnaw at it (my wrist) with my teeth. Really, that’s what I feel like doing! Well, not seriously, but there’s a bit of that impulse there!
If that feeling persists, I guess maybe I’ll have to actually find a doctor who deals with this sort of thing. Hopefully having a PPO instead of an HMO will make that a tiny bit less of a hassle.
I’m still young, why is my body already starting to deteriorate and betray me?

Hiya,
Windsor Park is just south of Windsor Road, between Prospect and Neil. Remember where the WDWS and the old Par 3 golf course used to be (now it’s been developed as an office park). Kids from Windsor Park, Devonshire, Devonshire South and Colony West (all of which border Windso) go to Central. I think everything from Brookshire west goes to “that other school.”
So you must have been on/around Cresent, I guess. I don’t know that area well. Anyway, how did you end up out here?
Mike
P.S. I don’t know anything about wrist braces.

Yes, near Crescent. On Blackthorn Dr, which is off of Winchester.
I came out here to go to school (MIT), and liked it enough out here to stay after graduation. How about you?

Went to U of I, then moved to Chicago for 7 years, then jumped around a bit as my then fiancee (now wife) was doing various clinical internship and fellowships (aka slave labor). When she was done with all that, the best offer she got was here, so we came to Boston. This is where she’s from. As for me, after 4 years I’m still adjusting.
My job is portable — I’m a writer — so it doesn’t matter too much where I live. But I have lived in more laidback places, that’s for sure. Some folks call this New England provincial. I’d call it downright tribal.
