6th Occupational Therapy (23.5.07)

23 May 2007

While going to bed last Tuesday night, I lost balance and accidentally used my left hand to support myself. This leads to sharp pain at my wrist and at the fracture area. There is visible swelling at the fracture vicinity the next day. But luckily, the swelling subsided after days of massaging... Other than that, there are the usual complains of aching and tension at my wrist, knuckles, mid-joints and at the fracture; plus pain at my 3rd knuckles...

It's another long trip on bus #21... As usual, this session began with Q&A and taking of measurements before the commencement of treatments...

Today's treatment kicked off with the 15min fluidotheraphy, which again makes my left hand turn red instantly... The red power putty exercise followed next, with the same set of exercises as the last session...

Next, Pei Fen brought me to the exercise room where I am introduced to a new exercise. At the gym-like BTE PRIMUS exercise machine, I am instructed to turn a large knock, 5 times each for clockwise and anti-clockwise for a total of 4min. After changing the large knock into a hook-like instrument, I would need to squeeze the hook for grip strengthening...

After the treatment, I go to Orchard for my routine shopping...
