Bloody thank fuck for that - I thought it was just me. Had to ask my girlfriend to reopen a jar of gherkins for me the other day..
Guessed it was just the drastic change from gripping handlebars for 3 or 4 hours per day to holding them 3 or 4 hours a months that did it. Probably a combination of both really, but it's got to be something that improves with a lot of perseverance isn't it? A bit like relearning to walk after months in a coma.
Something I noticed while filling out a form the other day was that I or rather my hands had almost completely forgotten the once daily movements needed to do joined up writing...
Seems a lot better after a few hours practice.
Good to hear you're ok - it's the damn limbo of never knowing if or when 'it' could strike again that's the worst though isn't it? I'd go through another 5 courses of chemo now if someone could guarantee 100% that it'd never come back again. Just want my normal life back to be honest...
