At my physical therapy appointment today, I thought someone who walked out of a small room a couple of tables away looked and sounded familiar. I asked my therapist, “is that ?” Yes.
That was my last appointment there. The muscle spasm in my back is really gone. I’ve been typing and writing for much longer stretches than a week ago, so I’m hoping that the tingling in my left hand is going away, too. It’s hard to tell how much better it may or may not be getting. Two weeks ago there were days when I could barely button my shirt, because I couldn’t find the buttonholes with my left hand. It felt as though there was a lot of static on the line from my fingertips and the feeling was getting lost in the noise. There’s still static, but the signal-to-noise ratio is improving. I’ve been thinking that the way to measure the improvement is in how many decibels the signal-to-noise ratio is, but I have no real way to measure that.
