Woo hands

[ysobel]

Saw hand pt today. She is awesome.

Interesting tidbit: she thinks / is fairly sure that I have some form of hypermobility (apparently crackling achy finger joints is a clue), which is a nice confirmation of my own suspicions. Not that I can prove hypermobility at this point, but. (I also realized today that some of my pseudo-mobility, e.g. Arm movement wren shoulders are fused , may be because of hypermobile/stretchy bits.)

She made an awkward disapprovey face when I mentioned crochet though.

Anyway I have compression gloves (in fashionable beige) and a shiny new nighttime brace:

Weird: I was checking this entry for formatting and stared at the pictures going "I have pretty hands".

(I don't. But in my defense I've been up since 6 because stupid 8am appointment, so I'm punch-drunk tired.)

Oh, there is nothing better than the feeling of having a first appointment with a new medical professional and coming out of it feeling like you've been heard, validated, and cared for! I'm so glad you clicked with her.

(FOP and hypermobility together is totally your body trolling the fuck out of you.)

Awesome brace! Maybe get the light saber add-on next visit? ;)
