Hand update

Much better now. Thanks for the messages of support.

I'm now at about 90-95% for my right hand, and 85-90% for the left. Instantaneous strength almost back to normal, but almost instant fatigue. Still slightly clumsy, with fine control still an issue. I can write, but not normally. I can type, but not at full speed, and it starts to hurt quickly. But, and this is the good bit, over the last couple of days I could feel my hands recovering. I would try to do something and fail, and try it again half an hour later and succeed. I could notice the pain fading from my forearms.

I still haven't been able to get through to the doctor. I am comforted that if the pathology had found anything really nasty, she would have let me know. As it is, it may go down to TarlaĆ­onn cac, unless it happens again.

I hope it doesn't happen again.

Hmmm. Good. I'm still wondering if it's an odd kind of post-viral syndrome, but I assume that your doctor knows much more about that one than me.

Maybe pool/snooker/billiards would aid in the rehabilitation at some stage?

That almost sounds like a (potential) plan...

Does, doesn't it? When would work for you? If baby-sitting could be arranged, Mim might even like it too. :)

BTW, I can make it to Susie's birthday, I've just pulled off some shift-swapping, and it will work out fine.
