Somewhere, in this wonderful treasure trove of a community forum, I am sure this has been mentioned before but it might be new to you. Perhaps useful, even.

It will cost you no more than determination and some of your time.

As they, whoever they are, frequently say,

“It’s never too late to mend.”

So if mending is on your agenda try this upgrade download:

Paddy and Mick are working at the local sawmill.

One day, Mick slips and his arm gets caught and severed by the big bench saw. Paddy quickly puts the limb in a plastic bag and rushes it and Mick to the local hospital.

Next day, Paddy goes to the hospital and asks after Mick. The nurse says, “Oh he’s out in Rehab exercising”.

Paddy couldn’t believe it, but there’s Mick out the back exercising his now re-attached arm. The very next day he’s back at work in the saw mill.

A couple of days go by, and then Mick slips and severs his leg on another bloody big saw.

So Paddy puts the limb in a plastic bag and rushes it and Mick off to Hospital.

Next day he calls in to see him and asks the nurse how he is. The nurse replies, “He’s out in the Rehab again exercising”.

And sure enough, there’s Mick out there doing some serious work on the treadmill. And very soon Mick comes back to work.

But, as usual, within a couple of days he has another accident and severs his head.

Wearily Paddy puts the head in a plastic bag and transports it and Mick to hospital.

Next day he goes in and asks the nurse how Mick is. The nurse breaks down and cries and says, “He’s dead.”

Paddy is shocked, but not surprised. “I suppose the saw finally did him in.”

“No”, says the nurse, "Some dopey bugger put his head in a plastic bag and he suffocated.”

Plenty more where that came from.

Laughter is always the best medicine.

Judging by the number of clicks showing on the download button it would appear that there is a demand for something that could produce results.

There are many who make promises, leading this way and that, but who can demonstrate a tangible, real world, valuable effect for all the effort involved?

I wish you well but can’t offer any guarantees. If you do have something positive, useful and freely available, there is a demand. Unfortunately those promises tend to disappoint and one is left to deal with it.

I suppose we can always live in hope, or cut our losses, shrug and accept what has become another everyday.

Performing these exercises as a group might be worth looking into.
(even if only as another social occasion - a trouble shared is a trouble halved)

Involvement with others can provide incentive, encouragement and purpose.

A local group might be interested or you might get together with a few others for a regular online video session.

Try discussing the possibilities on this or any forum or in a chat room.

The world, the internet, is your training ground. It can be somewhere to go, something to do.

Try to avoid circular saws, chainsaws and similar for now.

Thanks for sharing Bobbi. Very useful for all those needing to work on their arm / hand movements.

And i’ll try & stay away from chainsaws

But sometimes its so tempting to amputate the ring finger of my right hand. I’m sure it would make my typing so much easier. Even though there’d be a lot of missing letters in my text, I’m sure you’d all still manage to read my gobbledegook
