Hippie girl, going through recovery, and life. Follow my journey of Spiritual growth and health.

Had a few ups and downs, trials and errors. Its apparent you can easily over do it, or like me your brain thinks your hand is normal, so you go to do a normal thing, like putting a bra on, or sock and you quickly get a reminder that your hand isn’t normal.

Love that my brain isn’t broken, but hand does not appreciate being used as if I haven’t had surgery 🤣 so a few days I’ve had to go back to icing and resting up.

The exercises I’m doing 3 times a day, they do still feel achy and stiff, but improving at least, and don’t ache for as long as they did afterwards.

My hardest exercises are the Opposition as the O isn’t really an O shape yet. And then the flexion of the IP (tip) of thumb, as I feel it barely moves. But we keep going.

Tried using scissors as I had my daughter’s 30th birthday coming up, and while I used them reasonably well. It did hurt in a dull ache, and some swelling afterwards. So I needed to rest again. Seeing video of cutting paper Here

Scissors rest just after the knobbly part where metal is so close to the skin’s surface.

Did make me sore afterwards, but it was nice to wrap presents, and write a card like a ‘normie’ 🤣. I still haven’t tried straightening my hair yet, I’m cheating with asking Mr Moon to do it.
