i had a dream

This morning as I was exercising, I remembered I had a dream last night that I could straighten my hand. I don't know if I was dreaming or awake but I remember I kept straightening my wrist using my good hand in my sleep. I also remember one time I think my thumb had got caught in my shirt (i usually sleep with my elbows bent and fist close to my chest) so I had to straighten out my thumb so my hand could be free from my shirt. Me straightening my wrist in my sleep might have been a real thing. It seems like my wrist just kept hurting lastnight.

 

However, in my dream I remember I had used my good hand to straighten the fingers on my weak hand. In real life when I do this my fingers curl back up after I let go but in the dream they stayed straight. I was so excited so I tried to straighten my wrist without using my good hand hand I did it! It was completely straight so i thought well let me see if I can straighten my fingers while my wrist is straight and I did it! I reached out with my arm and just as if I was reaching for the sky, my elbow wrist and fingers were all straight. It was a great dream.

 

I really want to do the serial casting to loosen everything but I dont know anyone around here that does it. Blewis from here told me about it and it got rid of his "chicken wing arm". Im still doing my exercises twice a day from OT but its mostly just straightening my arm. I feel like if I can find someone that does the serial casting and get some new electrodes for my e-stim, I will be able to do what I did in my dream starting with practicing using the e-stim first.
