Too Much of a Good Thing

Sometimes when I get started on something, I need to finish my projects. I put my 100% into it. Well, I did it. I really strained my elbow and I have to not use it. I can type but I can't really use too many fingers. It all started with gardening a few weeks ago. I used the Korean hoe-mi like a madwoman hacking through all the damn narcissus bulbs at John Muir High School. Then in my own garden, I was pruning and using a my elbow a lot. The plumbing issues of this last week caused even more inflammation. I was cleaning the bathroom and lifting heavy things. So I am sitting here with a knee brace on my elbow. I can't do any lifting or do any repetitive motions. I miss my Felco pruners already! My elbow finally told me last night it was done with all the stuff I have been doing to it!
