New Year’s Eve dream

I’m at a rowing course. I am to the side where people get in and out of boats, and I get into an orange kayak type boat, not a proper rowing scull. I have no oar. I paddle across to the other side which isn’t far, and I spot a dumbbell floating in the water. Not the metal…
New Year’s Eve dream
I’m at a rowing course. I am to the side where people get in and out of boats, and I get into an orange kayak type boat, not a proper rowing scull. I have no oar. I paddle across to the other side which isn’t far, and I spot a dumbbell floating in the water. Not the metal kind, the more modern single-piece molded ones that come in different colours, this was light blue, it looked to be about 15kg.

After a few minutes of the therapy, Ginny helps me with my pectoral and tricep exercises. For the pectoral, i have my arm hanging out over the side of the bed, with my arm outstretched.

more physio – July 2025

I’m working more on muscle development now—lifting my arm forwards and sideways, I'm now up to 100 reps on both. I’m seeing some nerve improvements, which is encouraging, but I’m starting to worry about the flexibility in my fingers. To help with that, I’ve ordered a Syrebo…

I’m working more on muscle development now—lifting my arm forwards and sideways, I'm now up to 100 reps on both. I’m seeing some nerve improvements, which is encouraging, but I’m starting to worry about the flexibility in my fingers. To help with that, I’ve ordered a Syrebo C12 Hand Rehabilitation Robot Glove. I had to send it to Annabelle in the UK (as usual, VAT/IGIC complications made direct shipping a pain).
