askye at 08:34pm on 10/04/2006I went to the doctor today. She's fairly certain I have carpel tunnel syndrome. She advised a splint, heat and ice when it hurts and taking Bvitamins and using the mouse as little as possible (and bean bag wrist rests). Also got blood taken for tons of tests -- including cholesteral and hormone stuff to see if I might have PCOS.
The wait for the blood test was long and there were 2 moms with well behaved kids. One Mom had five kids, all young. The other Mom had two girls and was helping one with work books. She was learning counting and reading and was at the age where you still struggle to write correctly. The girl would make some of the numbers wrong and her mom would correct her, every nice and everything until the girl wrote a zero the wrong way.
How can you write a zero wrong? Well the girl was starting at the bottom and when she started from the top she wrote it in the wrong direction, according to her mother. The mom said that it's weird but zeros and o's aren't written the same way. According to her one is down clockwise and the other counterclockwise.
I sat there kind of staring at the floor -- write zeros and os differently? I know some people put a slash through their zeros but I'd never heard of the anyone writing them in different directions.
