    THR Mayhip8's recovery thread

    Hello @Mayhip8 ! I've been remiss following and supporting you on your second rodeo. :shrug: You sound a bit down, which is totally understandable at this point.

    THR Nini's Right THR Recovery -- January 2024

    I was one of those who taped a disposable razor to a small garden bamboo cane. Worked well! Also rubber-banded a small facecloth around a long handled shower scrunchy thing to smear on some l'occitane almond shower oil. Good luck! (I also taped nail polish brush part to a cane to tidy up my...

    Glad to hear you are getting some good, sensitive hands-on PT @melquist ! It is SO reassuring when you feel someone has 'got your back' while at the same time helping you to stretch yourself physically (and emotionally!).
