Happy Birthday Christina.

I hope your next year is great.

Judith

Thanks Judith. This year has been a steady one of slow and gradual
recovery from my spinal injuries. My consultant says I will never
completely recover the full use of my fingers due the nerve damage. I
didn't realise quite how long it would be before I could write with a
pen again, that was the pits having to get Woodman to fill his own
cheque in when he brought me logs. However I am pleased to report that
only just recently I can now use a manual tin opener again. So in the
coming year I'd like to be able to pick up small things. The OT tested
my progress -I've been working so hard with the hand physio- by giving
me a box full of very small metal thingies to pick up and put into
another box. He said it was once a test that some factory used to do
for potential employees and then they found it was a good test for
spinal injury patients use of their hands. Let's just say I wouldn't
have got the job.

Anyway, this next year will be better. I feel in it my bones g

That's excellent progress considering your injury. Purrs for it to
continue.

Judith

Thanks, I'm surprised I've done as well as I have. The worst thing was not
being able to write.
