So I started feeling some severe pain in my hand today and the symptoms align with those of carpal tunnel. Really hoping it isn't that, but even after ice, aspirin and a brace it still hurts so I can't finish my chapter for editing. I need to make an appointment to get it checked out. Also, because of the holidays coming up I'm going to only post once in November and December but it will be the raw and edited versions of Chapters 16 and 17 respectively. I'll try to get 15 posted later this week.
