Woot! I made it, last day!

Don't tell anyone but not being excessively on my phone wasn't that hard and it is something I actually plan on continuing. Like really how many tweets will someone tag me in within the 5 minutes I hadn't checked my app. Like 1 or 2.

The heat was runner up in my book to just doing nothing when it came to the pain. Cold compress was a negative but it was also interesting to see how much my body changes and reacts to something as simple as temperature.

Truthfully this whole "therapy" "experiment" could come down to 1) I need bigger hands, 2) I need a bigger phone, 3) I am old, 4) Over usage is a thing.

Like I said at the beginning of all of this, I am a phone addict. I love having my phone on me, near me, within reach but these three days I have let my child go to sleep away camp. It made me realize, we need each other but not necessarily ALL the time.

My hands aren't 100% healed but they definitely feel better; there is no denying that.

So to everyone else who has ever felt weird hand pains before assuming you are going to lose each finger slowly (like I thought), just take a break from a thing that you notice as a constant in your life aka your phone. Maybe a break isn't possible for you (this was only possible because I had 3 days…err well two days off from work) but even putting the phone down an hour before you head off to bed is sure to give your hands a well deserved break.

Hands are with us forever so it is time to start treating them with care. Shoutout to my hands for allowing me to try this little experiment, I hope you enjoyed your stay-cation.

Thanks for following this journey with me. What a weird one it has been but well worth it in the long run. LONG LIVE HANDS!

XOXO
