Jul. 14th, 2010 10:25 pmToday was another physiotherapy day, but my physiotherapist is off this week, so my session was with another therapist, Lisanne. There was much less pain with Lisanne - or is it just that, as I heal, there's less pain to the bending and stretching? Lisanne told me to keep the brace off more, and stretch more - the doctor and Leslie emphasized stretching the elbow, but she said that bending and flexing the fingers as much as possible would decrease the awful swelling.
Okay: I'm flexing, I'm flexing.
Lisanne said that in twelve years of physiotherapy, she's never seen an elbow as badly damaged as mine was. I wish she hadn't said that. It makes me feel freakish.
Anyway, I had a mighty accomplishment today: I wrapped a wedding present with one hand. It isn't the most beautiful wrapping ever, but I'm so proud of it!
