Arse – I now seem to have carpal tunnel syndrome as well as a list of shoulder, back and neck issues – seems my above the waist joined regions could be doing better!
Had surgery on my right wrist last week to try and sort the fact that I have limited feeling in the three central fingers and thumb of my right hand, and haven't been 'right' for 6 weeks now. So far, no bloody improvement so hoping it will kick in over time.
Have managed to loosely hold a hairdryer this morning which is major progress from not even being able to pull the fridge open last week, or pull my own pants up – now that is hard to do one-handed, just try it.
Onwards and upwards – steeling myself to it happening to my left hand at some point as apparently this is a weird syndrome that almost always happens to both wrists if one goes. Deep joy!

Yikes, that doesn’t sound like fun at all.
Pulling up pants one handed cant be easy – best to go commando methinks (you’ll get much more benefit from cooling floor vents that way too!)

Pants are soooo bourgeois – just ask Bear Grylls. Anyway, a sarong will hide a multitude of sins. Chin up little sis, and remember you don’t need hands to drink your V&O – that’s why straws were invented.

Lumme, that’s horrid, perhaps there is some kind of physio that might help involving lifting glasses of cold liquid?…
Get well soon Mrs!
