It’s been a week since I wore a splint or a brace, and I LOVE IT. I had thought it would be scary and I’d miss the splint. But honestly I’ve just been doing things absentmindedly, and it’s been fabulous.

This week was huge in that I had 2 victories, first one was I just got out the bath, without thinking. Second one was successfully getting my hand flat on the floor! Never imagined I would be able to do this, I was blown away!!

I started Yoga with Adriene again and using my hand to do Downward dogs and planks! I felt like ‘me’ again. I will still baby it a fair bit, and I won’t push my luck too much. But it’s nice to start doing normal things once more.

My biggest limitations are tucked in thumb fist, it just doesn’t tuck in, so there is a gap where the fingers can’t meet the palm, but if the thumb is on the outside I can do a fist fine.

Now if I can only sort out my back issues, I’d be feeling on top of the world!!
