Jul. 14 - I feel pain in my right wrist.

Our Japanese Apricot tree has been shading our garden these years.  Some of the twigs started to be obstacles when I pass under the tree.

 

The Japanese Apricot Tree is seen at the right side in the picture.

I began to cut down the long twigs with scissors one week ago. 

They were very hard and I felt a pain in my right wrist.

Also, we have hot days as high as 30 degrees Celsius. 

I am enjoying iced soda nowadays.  

When I took ice cubes a few days ago, I also felt a pain. 

Maybe I strained the muscles in my wrist.  

( strain (verb) to cause an injury by working the muscles too hard )

My wrist is not swollen, but it's painful. 

I was wondering if I'll use a poultice.  Hopefully, we have them in our house.

Loxoprofen Natrium Plaster

( plaster (noun) a bandage on which a poultice or liniment is spread for application.)

I wear cotton glove to avoid the plaster from being taken off.

When I wash dishes, I wear a rubber glove.

Sometimes it might be better to position my hand higher
than my heart to improve blood circulation.

Last month I started making a light blue shawl with summer yarn. 

The pattern is so complicated, so I had to undo some parts. 

However, I am taking a rest because I feel pains in my wrist. 

It may take a few years before the shawl can be finished.
