Recovering with crosswords
Earlier this year, I had a bad fall and broke my right wrist and hand and gave my head a substantial bash. An operation ensued to insert metalwork in wrist and hand and life slowed down to a series of small steps. Both my husband and I were suddenly aware of how different (and difficult) life can be when one of us is so dependant.
We feel your books have played a major part in my recovery as immediately I was released from hospital, I began with Sudoku…using my left hand with a sprained thumb! Soon I was writing something every day with my right hand and always included crosswords and Sudoku in my daily ‘physio’ both for the hand and head injuries.
Thankfully now life is resuming a semblance of normality. I am managing to use my right hand to do more tricky controlled actions…like chopping vegetables! Everything takes so much longer to do, but I have made an outfit to wear at my nephew’s wedding this week, I’ve completed two watercolour commissions and now all the competitions plus DIY in this month’s BIG…yes it does feel good!
Thank you for your excellent crossword books. We have recommended them to so many people and even the nurses and my surgeon in hospital!
