Tennis elbow - gradual progress

The elbow is still sore (2 1/2 months now), but I know I'm gaining a bit.  I can tie shoelaces, do up a zip, pull up the quilt on the bed and other things that have been impossible at various other times.  I'm able to do some concertina playing.  I can even do poi for a couple of minutes as long as I'm careful about which moves I try and don't do them too fast.

And then I'll reach out to put a small object two feet ENE of my body and yelp.  Or try to do a dance with a hoop and have to abandon the hoop as soon as it has to be tilted to the left and back again.

Having the name, I went out and looked at some info on Dupuytren's. Apparently in some cases it is associated with but not necessarily -caused- by a generally over-active auto-immune system. Err, at least that was what I understood.
Anyway, I may indeed go and see someone more than my GP who shrugged and said oh, that, can't do anything.

I had a crush on G&S when I was a teen....

Buttercup. Beautiful glossy yellow flowers, cheerful, tough, kind of prickly stem. I thought it was an apt description. :)

Garden = yes.
