Good Progress in Physio Again
Monday 26th November 2007
I had another physio session today and she could see another big improvement in my range of movement. My wrist extension (moving wrist upwards) was up by 20° from last time I saw her. She also measured my grip strength again and it was nearly double what it was last time at 28kg. Still early days, but this is better than before the operation where I only could achieve 26kg of pressure.
She has also said that I can progress onto light hand weights in order to start building the muscles back up. I must also keep massaging the scar more vigorously to loosen up the scar tissue, and keep plenty of ice on it to help the swelling go down.
I have been using cocoa butter on the scar as it has been recommended to help scars fade quicker as well as keeping them from drying out. While the scar is looking much better than the old one, it is still early days and very pink still.
