Grounded – for now

I slept very badly last night because of the pain in my right wrist and this morning I have a swelling on the side of my wrist below my right thumb. Even using my computer mouse is painful, so I’ve had to give up on any idea of flying, probably for the next few days.

It’s not so much the flying itself that will be the problem, it’s moving the aircraft around that will do more damage as I’m right handed. My Savannah and X-Air are not ideally positioned in the barn as the Savannah is in the wrong corner and as a result the X-Air is too far forward. However, although there might be some light rain on Sunday, my X-Air has its outdoor covers on, so there won’t be a problem.

I’m very disappointed about this after yesterday’s flight but if I don’t rest my wrist the problem will undoubtedly keep niggling for longer. So it’s best to bow to the inevitable now and try to get it over and done with. Maybe this will be a good time to get my main computer out of storage and see if I can edit yesterday’s videos without too much discomfort. If I can, at least that will be a good use of the time.
