Emory Schley: Calluses in strange places are mystifying
Ocala Star-Banner
A number of years ago, decades actually, when I worked at the Citrus County Chronicle, which was headquartered then in Inverness, I was quite confounded by a little discovery I made at work one day. I noticed that I had developed a callus on the inside of my right wrist, just below the base of the thumb, and adjacent to where one’s pulse is taken.
I stopped working on whatever it was I was doing at that moment, and marveled at my callus. HOW in the world, I exclaimed to no one in particular, do you develop a callus on your WRIST? I looked once again, tested it with the fingers of my left hand, and convinced myself it was indeed a callus on my wrist, plain as day.
