I mis-remembered the time of my occupational therapy appointment today, which I realized while waiting for a bus, because my eye doctor sent a confirmation message for my appointment Friday, for a different time than I remembered. I called a Lyft, which got me to the OT place at 2:02 for my 2:00 appointment, and the therapist told me to come into the appropriate room three minutes after that. So that could have been a lot worse. Also, the time the eye doctor sent the reminder for is more convenient than the time I had written down, so that part at least is all right.
In the last few days, my elbow has been bothering me when I did one of the OT exercises. I told the therapist this, and she asked whether it hurt when she poked a couple of spots, and then did ultrasound on that part of my arm. She explained that the muscle that we've been trying to relax and strengthen because of the wrist problem connects to the elbow. So the plan is that I will use only the one-pound weight for the wrist strengthening exercises; reduce the weights and/or tension that I'm using for the shoulder exercises; back off on hand-writing things, and maybe do less keyboarding; and wear the brace a bit more of the time. I am seeing her again in two weeks, and we'll re-evaluate then.
I walked to the farmers market after OT, and came home with apples, cucumbers, beets, a squash, and a few tomatoes. I had forgotten that we had a few cucumbers (from the supermarket) and beets. If I'd remembered, I'd have bought apple cider instead; as it is, Adrian is cheerfully making an apple and beet salad, which will be part of our dinner.
