Give me your hand and I give you the creeps!

It was a rainy day and there wasn't much to do, so I decided to play the guitar for a couple of hours. I've been suffering from tendonitis for many years (thanks to the guitar and the computer), and all that time playing without a break left me with intense pain in my hand and wrist. While doing some exercises I invented myself to loosen the tension in my fingers, I thought of taking a photo of my sore hand to experiment a bit.

Turns out, that "experimenting a bit" turned out to be quite a bit more time than expected, as I spent many hours until achieving a result that reallypleased me. And, as a complement to the digitally degraded hand in the photo, the icing on the cake was some tendons even more degraded and sore than at the beginning. But as my grandmother used to say, "if you like the scratching then you don't mind the lice".
