Loll · Posted: Sun 14 Jun 2009 16:37 pm Post subject: Almost back to normal again

Hi all, thanks for all the good wishes

during what has been a very trying time over the last few weeks. I'm now able to use both hands again, but the repaired one is still weak, so no master pieces from me for a while ( or a good excuse to turn out some (more) rough models )..

, but at least I can type a little easier.

Hi Loll

Take care and best wishes

Thanks folks.
I forgot to mention, they suggested that I take up knitting

or model making

to get my fingers stronger and more supple ......

but don't try doing too much too soon !

so I have been doing my exercises by trying to lift a pint glass, I'll feel better when there is a drink in it though

Great to see you going strong again, Loll.

And with humour too; the best medicine there will ever be.

With kind regards from Jesper.

Thanks Sean.

A little progress to report, I can now lift a 1/2 full pint glass ....... and deposit it into the lap of one of my companions !!!!!!

Ambition over ability I think it's called.
No doubt you are all aware of the disabled kid winning the icecream... well that's how I felt.

Painting left handed is easier now because I can use my right hand like a piece of ballast to hold it still, blue tack is useful too, but it is difficult to kneed it one handed. Enough grumping .. every day in every way .... etc.

I am supposed to manage to spread a slice of bread with butter next week ......... this is really much harder than the first time, around.

Time for an update.

I can now paint (badly... no change there then !) with my right hand, but I can't hold things still, carefully trying to paint and twitch another smudge grrr !!! but it is getting easier.
I can now lift a half pint without drowning anyone in the process. Typing is getting better I now only have to use the spell checker every word not every letter ..

No models with anything called progress yet, but plenty of "I've got to build one of those" .....

I can take photo's again too, provided I use the tripod to eliminate blurr. I have some very nice out of focus sky pics of where an aircraft was

with the right type of lens I could specialise in pics of wake turbulance
