I had a surprise OT session today, where I did a peg test (12 seconds each hand!) My OT said that she hadn't seen anyone pick up more than one peg at once; I thought it was logical... But anyway, to sort out the dexterity of my hands/fingers, I've been given a pot of "Air Putty" which is really soft... well, putty! I'm supposed to put glass beads/coins in it and pick them out to improve my fingers, but it's more fun to fiddle with!
Other than the putty, physio today was interesting. I was being taught to walk properly, which is actually really difficult. Stepping on a box and stepping off a certain way while keeping upright and making sure to put even weight on each leg is harder than it looks/sounds. Even now, like 4 hours later, my thighs and my knees really ache, they feel awful, but if this helps me then fine.
I'm really tired at the moment, have my macbook setup so I can watch TV on my iPad (over a makeshift wireless network) so all is good at the moment (although there's nothing on...) I might go and make myself a snack thing in an hour or so!
Sheesh! I was reading this through my fingers - assuming it was like an air biscuit but more pliable...
ReplyDeleteWell done on the learning to walk thing. You actually took a long time to learn to walk before, so this may take some time.
*Thinking* maybe the two are related?
