The Anonymous Widower

I Had Another Spasm In My Arm Yesterday

At lunch time yesterday, I went to a meeting, where I sat in a chair with wooden arms, not unlike the ones I have where I sit at my computer.

As I walked to the bus, I felt that my arm was  starting to do what it did a couple of weeks ago. It obviously wasn’t as bad and I decided to continue to my dental appointment at Notting Hill.

Luckily, the spasm seemed to die down in the bus, so I changed my plan and instead of going to Bank, I went to Kings Cross for the Circle line, as if it got worse I could get off at Euston Square for the hospital.

But it behaved itself and nothing further happened.

I should say that in the morning, I’d had physio on the arm and my physio had felt it wasn’t too good.

I’ve now decided to move my physio appointments to later in the day, as the problems seem to happen around lunchtime, after the arm has been working hard or lying in a particular way on a hard service.

I’ve also taken the decision to not sit in a chair, with my hand on the arm.

Thinking back over the last thirty years or so, most of my sitting has either been in a swivel office chair with a padded arm or on a hard stool. I’ve gone back to using the hard stool most of the time.
