Yesterday afternoon one of the occupational therapists did electrical stimulation on Pa's arm to stimulate his nerves. The session was to help him open and close his hand. Pa is too sensitive to the electricity, so the therapist couldn't go too high on the voltage. Today he'll work Pa's middle, ring and little fingers. They don't move as much as his thumb and index fingers. He does have a little movement on all his fingers, but he's a long ways off from being able to play the piano again.
I put on Pa's condom catheter last night. There's just something wrong about putting a condom on your own father. This version has an opening at the end where you insert a tube that goes into a urine collection bag.
