Hand therapy appointment last week. 15 degree improvement on flapping hand back & forth. 5 degree improvement side to side. This was good to hear. It is so hard to feel one is making progress day to day.
Points in no particular order.
Added stretching exercises. As the therapist was demoing them, she said, “Relax your shoulder.” Have you met me? What is it with people and my shoulders?
The putty for grip exercises is known as a slow liquid. It squishes and squeezes like a soft solid, but will gradually assume the shape of the container. Weird.
Therapy included hot air, which I didn’t like at all, and moist heat which I liked very much and wished I could bring the machine home.
Therapist said I was the first one to ask her about juggling. Yes, as long as the balls are light.
Assignment. More of same. See you in two weeks.
Doing the arm exercises continues to wear me out. This continues to irritate me. [Changing Fashion]
Still no riding.
How The Sausage Is Made
I had set aside Thursdays for wrist reports, except this year Thursdays were/will be holidays. So wrist on Tuesday. Does anyone other than me care about sticking to a schedule? Shrug. Being organized entertains me. It gives me the illusion of control over my universe.

In specific, these are the posts about the injury, most recent on top. In general, I find my wrist activity, or lack thereof, creeps into every post. “Other people want to know when they can drive. I want to know when I can pick up a loaded pitchfork.” [Horsekeeping, Still Not]
The hand injury has had much more of an impact on my life than my foot injury earlier this year. Yeah, it’s been a year. More on that tomorrow. [Foot 2025, list of posts]
Onwards!
