I have pretty bad tendinitis in both of my thumbs pointer fingers and wrist. It started about two months ago and it still hasn’t gone away. I am resting them, my wrists are in braces, I am icing them, and I’m using topical anti-inflammatory gel. I start school on 24 August, which is in 11 days. I am seeing a hand professional on the 20th and I’m very scared of what they’re going to say if I’ll have to rest them for a month or more. I am so terrified that my instructors are going to tell me that I shouldn’t be in the program or that they’re going to think I should be held back in some type of way. I can’t believe this is happening to me. I’m in a very dark place. I worked extremely hard to get into the program and I can’t believe that I have tendinitis right before I’m supposed to start. I know that over using your muscles that already have tendinitis can be very risky like I said I’m in a very dark place. If anyone has any advice or stories similar to mine that have good outcomes please let me know anything will help thank you

I just got accepted into the DH program (a very very competitive one) after being on the waitlist for two months!! I feel like I could jump over the moon!!!

I am writing this with a heavy heart. I don’t want to make anyone upset or offend anyone, but the new orbit makes me sad. I loved how it looks before the remodel, I loved when it was games on one end and everything else on the other end. I think what I’m mostly upset about it that I used to get my VHS tapes there and they had suchhhhh a gooood VHS selection.. and now the VHS section is teeny tiny and its not a good selection ): does anyone else feel the same? it’s just not the same. Idk maybe the new model will grow on me but damn.
