I am typing this with both hands. I am taking the brace off my wrist more and more. I am able to use my hand more even though it is stiff and my range of motion is limited. Today was so much better that I felt like I might actually get close to normal soon — well, relatively soon.
I am anxious to try my cross stitch. I did laundry today and I have been helping with the cooking. I can’t do it all, like picking up cast iron skillets, but I am working at it.
I could still just kick myself for having taken the fall but it could have been worse. Counting my blessings as I do the prescribed exercises.
I have been spending my time playing Animal Crossing and reading. I finished “The Dutch House” and I highly recommend it. I am now reading “Wildwood” and Bean and I are reading “The Chronicles of Narnia”. We just started on the first book but I think we are going to enjoy it. And I am re-watching “The Last Tango in Halifax”. Enjoying it a second time, just as much as the first.
The schools here are in a huge mess and it is causing my daughter issues. I am praying they go 100% remote but doubtful they will. I think they should just cancel the year and start over again next year. I also think somebody should create a covid test for all of us to use at home, like diabetic testing, so we could just test ourselves. I don’t know, the whole thing is disturbing and now I am wearing masks in my house when Bean is here because she has gone back to dance class in person and kids can be so gooey and germy. So, here we are. It isn’t fun, it is uncomfortable and unwelcoming and I don’t really see how kids are going to get a good education under these circumstances. Jumping off my soap box now.
Ok, hand is beginning to ache so I will say goodnight. Goodnight!

Hi BB! When I broke my wrist I found that the weakness afterwards was remedied by a stretchy brace I could slip over my hand. I still have it and I might start using it when I'm knitting. I've been cross stitching a little bit, too.
I'm glad you're okay!
Thanks, Pom Pom! I see to be getting better and I a certain this short yet bulky brace is going to be replaced by something like you describe. The dr. Said wear it most of the time but I am taking it off more and more and that is when it has started getting better. I see him Monday — we will see what he says.
I'm glad you're getting better. It takes time and patience. It's 2 weeks now since I fell and my hand is finally going back to normal size.
I hope the doctor tells you to wear a less bulky and more comfortable brace. Maybe soon you'll be back doing cross stitch again!
