It's the little things... Shuffling a deck of cards. Peeling carrots. Pulling my pants up. Fastening the small clasp of a necklace. The simple things in life are coming back.
So many common activities of life depend on pinch strength!
Of all the measures of my recovery, pinch strength is by far the worst.
Even so, each appointment with the hand therapist provides data to back up my commonplace observations. My pinch strength still may not allow me to comfortably fasten a button, but I can grasp a carrot. I can wear and take off a necklace. And my husband no longer has to do all the shuffling when we play our morning game of cribbage. Progress may be slow, but it's happening!
