Sunburn and stroke rehab

This weekend was nice warm and sunny, I needed to go to a graduation party. so I rolled down my drivers side window, took off my watch and hung my left arm out the window. This is to overstimulate the nerves by having air rush over it., under the theory that sensation is helpful in getting back motor movement. Because of spasticity this is only tolerable for about 30 minutes. So in those 30 minutes I sunburned my arm, not enough to be painful and certainly not enough to get heat waves from black body radiation that night. This is not something your therapists would ever recommend but since I am my own therapist now I will continue to do stupid things like that.
