[NFB-Krafters-Korner] resting hands

[Bernice Bird]

Thanks. I will try. Of course I have lots of packing to do, but that isn't the fine motor motion that bothers my hands, just my back and legs. Take care,

Hi Bernice.

I also have some trouble with my hands.  I can knit for an hour or so, then I have to stop for a while, even if I don't want to. So long as I remember not to do too much at one time, I'm OK.


I also find it useful to wear a wrist brace if I'm going to be typing for a while, like writing a program or doing a lot of email.

Sure is no fun when your hands hurt.  Glad you're feeling better, but don't forget to take it easy.

Tracy
