DYNO-ARM!

Move over Robo-Arm, you've been replaced.


I haven't been seeing a ton of progress with a range of motion in the past few weeks, so my PT and I decided to try something new. Peter got me a dynamic range of motion device to wear, and instead of limiting my range of motion this stretches it out. There is kind of a spring in the joint and it gently (or forcibly) increases my range of motion. I'm supposed to start with 20 minutes today and work up to wearing it all night. I'm calling it Dyno-Arm because when I'm done with it my range of motion is going to be DYNO-MIGHT! I may be calling it Torture-Arm or S&M-Arm depending on how much discomfort stretching it out all night gives me. Right now I'm only on a setting of 2, out of 10...

Tattoos

On my last birthday I came pretty close to getting another tattoo. I really wanted to get another, and on my arm this time. I guess I really don't need to do that now.... unless, I make this in to some kind of cool snake or barb wire tattoo. Send me your sketches!
