Can someone help me with the Chinese phrase? (My hand is "???")

[jacksonm]

Hi everyone, I'm a beginner Chinese learner and I came across a small phrase today and I'm not sure what it meant.

Here it is (It's a small image)-> http://img263.echo.cx/img263/5643/help4ul.jpg

I have circled the word that I don't understand in red.

I'm not sure if it is Mandarin, or if it is Cantonese in the context, but I believe that the meaning is more or less the same.

Thank you to all in advance for helping me,

Jackson

Looks like an incorrect character. 手碗 doesn't mean anything (to me, at least), but 手腕 (note the different radical on the second character) is 'wrist'
