I don't know why my physio didn't suggest it to me earlier but I have stumbled upon jigsaw puzzles for therapy. The repetitive movements of sorting pieces has done my lymphedema arm the world of good....
I love a puzzle! My grandmother lived in Anglesea (Victorian coastal town) so all our holidays were spent there. Great in the summer but not so much the winter. In the colder months a card table would be put up and a really big puzzle would begin. It was great fun.
I had just finished a 3000 piece puzzle when I was diagnosed, and during summer we did this crazy 1500 jigsaw of piles of sweets:
My next one is a Cuban street, a 2000 piece, which I think is my preferred size. It's about as much as my dining table can handle!
