Today turned out to be a bit cooler and significantly more comfortable than forecast, or indeed than I realized when I left the house.
I allowed plenty of time, and then made a tight connection from the trolley to the 66 bus, thanks to a helpful bus driver. That got me to Harvard Square much earlier than I'd expected. I decided it wasn't too hot to be outside for a little while, and got a slice of pizza and a Pepsi, then made my way to Arlington for OT.
I told the therapist that I had been feeling much better in the last few days, due to either the exercises or the brace--or, as she reminded me, both. This week, she used ultrasound on my wrist, then massaged my arm from the wrist about halfway to the elbow.
She finished by teaching me a stretch. I have printed instructions for the stretch, and the explicit instruction not to do what's shown in the video. Last week, she both gave me a printout and said the video would be useful, with a bit of adjustment to positioning.
When I was done there, the weather still felt hot but tolerable, so I went to the Arlington Farmers Market. I bought raspberries, blueberries, cucumbers, and lettuce, so we're having a salad for dinner tonight, along with bread and either pickled herring or hummus.
I did more walking than I'd really intended, then another several blocks from the 86 bus to the green line; the Transit app told me to get off the bus one stop earlier than we really should have, but the connection in that direction is still several blocks. We tried the 86 because the 66 was delayed and the first one to arrive was very crowded; the 86 wasn't at all crowded. (I think the 86 in the other direction stops a lot closer to green line B.)
