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 jigsaw puzzles. However I found my concentration wandered somewhere and I struggle with anything bigger than 1000 pieces. That’s okay because I don’t like to leave a puzzle until it is finished. My daughter and I have often stayed up until 3am with ‘just one more piece then I will go to bed’ being our promise that never got carried through. If it is just me I will do a 500 piece because that way I can finish it before midnight if I start early enough.
