Hand update

Well it's four months on from the operation I had on my hand. My finger joint is way better, I have active movement to 90 degrees and passive to a little more. This has exceeded the aim of the operation. I have a stronger grip and I can get into playing the way I want too.

I still have to manage the workload on both my hands. While one hand was mildly disabled, the other hand had to compensate. Both were closer to their maximum workload. Even now I'm still building up stamina and rest and recovery time is very important. That said it's really positive and I can see loads of routes through any problems. I'm using mental practise a lot more and the best thing is... you can practise warm and cosy in bed!
