Doctor: You have carpel tunnel. You can't stop working obviously, so you need to cut back on any other activities that can irritate your hand or wrist. What else do you frequently do that requires repetitive motion?
Me: Well, I paint, draw, crochet, write stories...
Doctor: Yeah, you should stop doing all that...
Me: So, let me get this straight- In order for me to not be in pain, I have to give up the few things in life that bring me joy?
Doctor: Well-
Me: I'd rather live in pain, thanks.
