This, That, and the Other

Ever since his cast was removed after the operation to repair a fractured wrist, Kevin had experienced an intermittent twitch in his right hand, and it was making him miserable. “My conjecture,” Kevin’s doctor said, “is that you’re probably experiencing muscle weakness due to having worn a cast for the past four months.”

The doctor suggested that Keven undergo physical therapy or acupuncture, but since Kevin couldn’t stand the idea of needles that pierce the skin, he decided to go the physical therapy route. Within a matter of two weeks, his twitches, while not completely gone, had dropped in frequency quantitatively, which made Kevin a happy camper.
