Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when the median nerve that runs from the forearm into the palm of the hand will become squeezed at the wrist. The median nerve controls sensations to the palm side of the thumb and fingers as well as impulses to some small muscles in the hand that allow the fingers and thumb to move.

Sula is a novel about self-creation, about women, about men, and about a culture.

Tunnel of Love The water flows both ways through the tunnel of love, depending on which rusty lever I force! Like life, this tacky carnival ride with its soggy boats bobbing in a curving trough is not a circle but a figure-eight, or an eighty-eight, that doubles back and gives us second chances to be noble or to wet the seat of our pants.
