Hi everyone, hope your weekend is going well?
Yay, I took out my cast and now I have both hands to play with again. What a relief!
Having that cast was bearable but there were days I got so frustrated with it, especially because I couldn't get it wet and had to wrap it in plastic each time I had a shower. Then a friend pointed out that my hand was getting smaller, and it was! I've lost some muscle definition in that hand and much of the strength. But no fear, the Occupational Therapy people have given me a series of physio exercises to bring the hand back to speed. I laughed yesterday doing some of them, it's amazing how we take so many things for granted until you can't do them again. Like squeezing your hand or touching your thumb to the tips of your other fingers. Well, small small...
On other news, have you started using the new blogger interface? I logged in a couple of days ago and old Blogger said I should try it out. I was like, meh, I'm used to this one, but Atala wanted to see what it looked like so I clicked over. TBH, I haven't gone back to old blogger since. The look and feel is so clean and more integrated, and I like it, lol. Maybe I'll do a proper post about it soon.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend people. For those in America, have a great Labor day.
Hi Myne,
ReplyDeleteI know you are relieved to have use of both your hands. Never been in that situation before. Hope to never be either.
Well, I'm a fellow Campaigner and thought I'd drop you a few lines. Nice meeting you and take care not to break or sprain anything else. :-)

I'm glad your hand is free. I'm sure it will be back to 100% in no time.
ReplyDeleteI like the new Blogger, too, but there are a few glitches that bother me. It posted my last update two hours early for some reason. I enjoy how organized it is and if there are still some kinks to work out...well, it's new. Give it time.
Glad to know you are okay

ReplyDeleteGlad to know you now have your full "hand" back. The new interface is wonderful. Thanks for your comment on Naija Stories, I found it helpful
ReplyDeleteHey Myne! Glad you're "free" and feeling well :-)
ReplyDeletegood to hear! ..so you've using one hand to type along ehn?...*thumbs up*
ReplyDeletehave a lovely weekend.
Oooh! It must feel soooo good to be free! That's good. All the best with the physio.
ReplyDeleteI've not tried the new blogger yet because of fear of disappointment. Lol.
See your cute hand! Lol...
ReplyDeleteYay!
ReplyDeleteHahaha I know right? It's funny how we usually take all these small things for granted. I'm glad your hand is back, Myne. Thank God it's just muscle strength and mass, don't worry you can always build that back overtime, at least there were no complications!
Glad your hand is free and on its way to recovery. I just tried the new Blogger earlier today and I like it too!
ReplyDeleteThank God you have your hand back.
ReplyDeleteHello My Hand! Good to see you again.
ReplyDeleteI haven't tried it out yet..a bit leery of changes. Like I don't care for the new Yahoo interface but there's no going back :(.
Hi, I'm one of your fellow Campaigners. Some years ago I broke both wrists while rollerblading. I was able to use a splint for one of them that I could take off to shower and wash my hair, while the other had to go into a cast. Good news is, it didn't take long for the muscle to come back.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, good luck with the Campaign!
Good news about your hand. Blogger interface...still not warmed up to it yet. Good to hear it's ok though.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure your hand will get back to shap-shape in no time. Now I need to go check out new blogger, I don't think I've seen it!
ReplyDeleteAwww, I thot you had taken it down o. It seemed to have stayed so long.
ReplyDeleteI have been switching between interfaces. Change us hard, lol.
Glad your hand is ok now oh,really happy for you.
ReplyDeleteI saw the new one and forsome reasons I don't like it,so haven't even tried it yet
Good to know u "have ur hand back"...I can only imagine the frustration of not having both hands.
ReplyDeleteThank God your hand is doing better and I agree we often take little thngs that we can do without anyone's help for granted. Please do a post on the new blogger, I didn't even know there was one. I will try to see if I can try it, it sounds cool
ReplyDeleteThank God your hand is healing, l can imagine, happy Labor day to you too, ...the Lord is your healer.
ReplyDeleteThank God your hand is back! :)
ReplyDeleteyay! glad your hand is back!
ReplyDeletePray it become fully functional asap!
Thank you all so much! I appreciate the kind wishes, and will update you with how my hand goes. Have a lovely week all..
ReplyDeleteHmmmmmm,i'm happy your hand is fine now.
ReplyDeleteI had a few hit and miss moments when I wondered if I'd find what I was looking for, but I'm settling in with the new dashboard.
ReplyDeleteKeep working the hand! It'll be back to normal before you know it.
I'll have to give the new Blogger a try. I've been putting it off (I'm a creature of habit. I dislike learning how to use new versions.)
ReplyDeleteGreat your hand is back and I'm with you Re: little things we take for granted! God is good oh.
ReplyDeleteTried the new interface,it gave me some messages I didn't quite understand so I switched back till I'm ready(still using my phone to browse) :D
