Things I Can Do
Improvement with my hand is slow, almost imperceptible, but as the weeks progress I find I can do more and more. Here are some things I can do now without a problem: Use chopsticks. I was pleased to learn this during a sushi dinner with Ryan in Berkeley. Thanks for the picture, Ryan! Use silverware Cut with a knife Write (!) Open bottles if the lid isn't too tight Carry things Braid my hair. I did this for the first time yesterday, and I was very excited. Put on makeup Put on a bra Strum the guitar. I am even starting to be able to fingerpick a little. Sleep normally with my arm tucked under the pillow the way I like it. Unlock a door with a key Tie my shoes These might seem like small things, but when I was able to do each one again, they seemed like big victories. Things are good!
