1. She Has Carpal Tunnel
in her hands/wrists - very painful condition. I heard on the radio she's had surgeries in the past for it.

7. Shaking Hands Can Do It
once you've got it, any motion hurts.

I took and still take mega doses of B6 - I would not want to have surgery.

16. That's What Kids Used to Call Me
as a child - I have polio. I thought remarks like that were a thing that only kids were capable of, later I found out, how wrong I was.

21. according to my big red dictionary
GYP means to swindle or cheat--or a fraud . I can not imagine how you get a personal insult out of that. Maybe I was to glib about her carpal tunnel , I apologise for that, BUT NOTHING ELSE

5. No. She went after an enthusiastic McCain supporter torqued her wrist
during a handshake.

She was at McC's press conference with her arm in a sling and a splint on her wrist. She said it was more precautionary than anything and that it was really nothing.

13. Remember that scene in West Wing when Alan Alda got over handshook?
I once worked a reception line and got my hand over squeezed by a number of people who seem to confuse another person's hand with a piece of exercise equipment. In elementary school we used to try and crush each other's hands with handshakes. Once you grow up, you're supposed to quit doing that shit.

9. she hurt her hand, something to do with the heavy jewels sh was wearing
no, not really, but is sounds just as good as her real excuse. Apparently her hurt her hand while shaking it with over enthusiastic fans for her celebrity husband, or maybe they just thought she was handing out cases of beer? Take your pick, they're all lame excuses to be hospitalized. you'd think that for as old as McSame is, he'd have a Dr. traveling with them.

11. I wish her a speedy recovery.
Wrist injuries massively suck. It's one of the most pain-sensitive parts of the body.

She's suffered grave injury as a result.
