    <content type="html">I woke up very late yesterday and then did fewer of these stretches and exercises than usual.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today, however, I was up at 8 (which is in the range of my current "normal" pattern), sat with my anti-SAD light (which tends not to happen if I sleep late), and have done wrist stretches and exercises. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am doing well enough that it may be time to stop, or at least pause, the OT visits:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="cut-wrapper"&gt;&lt;span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___1" class="cuttag"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class="cut-open"&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-text"&gt;&lt;a href="https://redbird.dreamwidth.org/3030339.html#cutid1"&gt;boring numbers&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-close"&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___1" aria-live="assertive"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It has also been a few days since I used the brace on the right wrist at all, though I'm carrying it with me if I go out for longer than a walk to the supermarket, and having it in reach when I sleep. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I am still sleeping with the other wrist braced and propped up, because leaving that off for  more than a couple of days leads to wrist or elbow pain. Sleeping with both wrists in those braces is like sleeping with fingerless gloves on, and can be warm enough to make it hard for me to fall asleep, even naked and without even a sheet to cover me. (Adrian's room is cooler, so sleeping with both braces on when I'm in that bedroom hasn't been a problem.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=redbird&amp;ditemid=3030339" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>

    <content type="html">This was a good session: I did well on balance stuff I've done before, and on some new stuff. We did have to be a bit careful of a sore left knee, however. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class="cut-wrapper"&gt;&lt;span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___1" class="cuttag"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b class="cut-open"&gt;(&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-text"&gt;&lt;a href="https://redbird.dreamwidth.org/1264146.html#cutid1"&gt;details, including but not limited to numbers&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b class="cut-close"&gt;&amp;nbsp;)&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___1" aria-live="assertive"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=redbird&amp;ditemid=1264146" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/&gt; comments</content>
