First off, you are most certainly not whining! I was just thinking about you the other day, and wondering how it was going. I'm so very sorry to hear that you're having such dreadful luck with your wrist!

I would think that almost everyone here can understand just how upsetting this is for you. I know I'd be devastated if I couldn't Sim, or use Milkshape and Photoshop, etc., as it's such a big part of my life, so I can imagine how bereft you must feel. And it's not just the creating, but feeling like you're contributing to a community as well.

I really, really hope a solution can be found. Surgery sounds scary, but if it fixes the problem then it has to be worthwhile. And I'm always here if you need a friendly ear, and one that understands just what it must be like.

Take care, and keep us updated! *Huge hugs*
