INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Wrist sprains have a wide range of severity depending on the degree of stretch and/or tearing to the involved ligament. Mild wrist sprains (Grade 1), involve some ligament stretching, but no significant tearing; moderate sprains (Grade 2) involve significant tearing (up to 50% of the fibers); severe sprains (Grade 3) involve a greater amount of tearing or complete rupture of the ligament. Consequently, with Grade 1 and 2 wrist sprains, movement will be relatively normal, albeit painful. A Grade 3 sprain often leads to joint instability (too much mobility) with movement because the involved ligament is no longer properly attached to its wrist (carpal) bones. In contrast, movement is typically much more restricted with wrist fractures and there's often a grinding feeling with movement.  Grade 1 wrist sprains are mildly painful and the pain is usually described as a soreness that can be sharp with movement. Grade 2 wrist sprains generate moderate-to-severe pain, depending on the degree of tearing; the pain is sharper than a Grade 1 tear and sometimes also throbbing because of inflammation. Grade 3 wrist sprains are often less painful (initially) than Grade 2 varieties because the ligament is completely severed and not irritating surrounding nerves as much — although Grade 3 injuries eventually throb significantly due to accumulating inflammation. Inflammation (swelling) is a common symptom of all wrist sprains, as well as wrist fractures, but it varies significantly according to the severity of injury. In general, Grade 1 sprains have the least amount of swelling, whereas Grade 3 sprains trigger the most. Swelling will make your sprained wrist look thicker and puffy compared to your uninjured wrist. The body's inflammation response to injury, especially sprains, tends to be an over-reaction because it's anticipating the worst care scenario — an open wound susceptible to infection. As such, trying to limit inflammation triggered by a sprain with cold therapy, compresses, and/or anti-inflammatory drugs is beneficial because it reduces pain and helps to maintain range of motion in your wrist.  Swelling from inflammation doesn't cause much color change to skin, aside from some redness from "flushing" due to all the warm fluid underneath the skin. Due to the accumulation of inflammation, which consists of lymph fluid and a variety of specialized immune system cells, a sprained wrist will feel warm to the touch. Most wrist fractures also feel warm due to inflammation, but sometimes the wrist and hand can feel cold because the circulation gets cut off due to blood vessel damage. Although the body's inflammation reaction creates swelling at the site of injury, that's not the same as bruising. Instead, bruising is caused by blood that seeps into surrounding tissues from injured blood vessels (small arteries or veins). Grade 1 wrist sprains usually don't lead to bruising, unless the injury was from a hard blow that crushed the small subcutaneous blood vessels directly underneath the skin. Grade 2 sprains involve more swelling, but again, not necessarily lots of bruising — it depends how the injury occurred. Grade 3 sprains involve lots of swelling and typically significant bruising because trauma that causes a completely torn ligament is usually severe enough to also rip or damage surrounding blood vessels.  The dark color of bruising is caused by blood seeping into the tissues just below the skin's surface. As the blood degrades and gets flushed out of the tissue, the bruise changes color with time (dark blue, green, then yellow). In contrast to sprains, wrist fractures almost always exhibit bruising because it takes more trauma (force) to break a bone. A Grade 3 wrist sprain can lead to an avulsion fracture, where the ligament tears away a small chip of bone. In this case, there's lots of immediate pain, inflammation and bruising. Wrist sprains of all grades respond well to cold therapy because it reduces inflammation and numbs surrounding nerve fibers that generate pain. Cold therapy (ice or frozen gel packs) is especially important for Grade 2 and 3 wrist sprains because they trigger the accumulation of more inflammation around the injury site. Applying cold therapy to a sprained wrist for 10-15 minutes every one to two hours immediately following an injury makes a noticeably positive impact after a day or two by significantly reducing the intensity of pain and making movement easier. In contrast, icing a wrist fracture is helpful for pain and inflammation control also, but the symptoms often return after the effects wear off. Thus, as a general guideline, cold therapy tends to be more impactful on sprains than it is on most fractures.  Small hairline (stress) fractures tend to mimic Grade 1 or 2 sprains and do respond to cold therapy (long term) better than more serious fractures. When applying cold therapy to your inured wrist, make sure to wrap it in a thin towel so as to avoid skin irritation or frost bite.

SUMMARY: Expect some pain with movement. Look for inflammation. See if bruising develops. Apply ice and notice any improvement.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Spray each skewer as you take it out of the water, but before you put any food on it. Use any non-stick cooking spray you have. The spray will prevent the meat and vegetables from sticking to the wood skewer, which in turn will help you slide the food off the skewers much easier. You can also spray non-stick cooking spray onto the barbeque grill to prevent items from sticking. However, do not spray the grill once the barbeque has been turned on. Only spray the grill when it is cold.
Summary: Spray skewers with non-stick cooking spray to prevent food from getting stuck.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Sleep is one of the best ways to make time fly by. Lie down in your bed and breathe deeply. Relax your body and mind, releasing tension from your muscles. Let your mind wander and you will likely soon fall asleep. Fill up the tub with warm water and climb in. Having a bath can relax your body and will also take you away from the clock. Spend time washing your hair and body. Being hypnotized puts you in an extremely calm, relaxed state; it has multiple potential health benefits. Hypnosis can also alter your perception of time, making it seem that time passes more quickly than what you might perceive.,  To hypnotize yourself:  Sit or lie down in a comfortable position. Relax your body by releasing tension from your muscles. Visualize yourself walking down a tall staircase. When you get to the bottom, begin giving yourself cues. Say these in the present tense and keep them positive. You might say, “I am calm and relaxed,” or “I am healthy and energetic.” Visualize yourself walking back up the staircase. When you reach the top, tell yourself to wake up. Depressants, which decrease mental function and physical ability for a period of time, also seem to cause your perception of time to speed up. Consuming alcohol or cannabis can create a perception that time is moving faster than it really is. Make sure you are legally consuming depressants. If you are underage or you live in a region that prohibits the use of certain depressants, try a different tactic to speed up time.

SUMMARY:
Go to sleep. Take a bath or shower. Try hypnosis. Consume a depressant.
