• Day 27 - Able to lift spoon to eat.

  Therapist thinks I might be almost normal in a month. Hooray.
  
  However, opening jars and lifting heavy objects will take longer.
  
  Found out that I laugh when in pain during therapy. Laughter is supposed to be good for upping the pain threshold and for releasing endorphins.
