Keen-eyed readers may have noticed Sarah has been absent from here for a while. Well, that is because about a year ago, one of her hands fell off.
I tried re-attaching it with superglue, which lasted about five seconds. I tried reattaching it by melting the plastic in her arm with a wire I was then going to bend around the joint in her hand; that did not get past the melting-the-plastic stage.
Last week, however, I came up with this idea:
I sewed a small tube of leftover black knit fabric into a tube and cut a little hole in it, so Sarah now has an “wrist/arm brace”.
So far, it has worked! I’m unsure how much weight her new wrist can support, but the joint is very flexible. And of course, if the brace comes off, so does her hand.
We shall see how this goes – hopefully she doesn’t need any more “braces”! And hey, at least it wasn’t her dominant hand.
Anyways, see ya!
