Tuesday 20 May

Woke up with pain in shoulder and elbow. The pain seems to be creeping up the arm; got the pain in the elbow in the afternoon as well. Felt extremely tired all day.

Swelling increased today on back of the hand. Scar extremely sensitive and palm very hard to the touch. Not a good day but I made sure I used the hand as much as possible. Mobility hurts first but the hand feels better after sustained movement. Dribbling a ball, throwing it on wall and catching it with both hands, all this helped, it’s also quite a ot of fun to use the hand in this way.

I also bought a dart board and threw darts for about half an hour; was able to be quite accurate at the end of the session, felt more in control of my hand; it also felt better, more supple.

Walked for an hour.
