Here’s your change, sir

Look at the terrible torture device they gave Tom to wear. It’s kinda like head gear for your arm. It cranks his arm up and rotates it for him. He’s supposed to wear it an hour or two every night. It’s suppose to help get mobility back in his arm. Right now he can’t rotate his arm very much so he can’t get change at the store. It just rolls right out of his hand. He can’t slap anyone some skin either. No high fiving. No pull ups. And if he gets really thirsty but has no cup, he can’t cup his hands together to scoop up a handful of water. Heck, he can’t even cram large quantities of candy or popcorn in his mouth at once. Poor Tom!

Doesn’t it look aweful? I think the worst thing is that he can’t rotate a fork so he has to sort of do this weird manuevre when eating food. He drops a lot of stuff. No right-handed mousing any more either. Amazing how much we take our wrists for granted. Try it, try putting food from your fork to your mouth without moving your wrist. Fun party trick!

I bet he couldn’t flick a paper airplane either. But it’s ok because he can always go to this site and do it virtually.
