When I was with King Russell this evening I had a ‘ticcing fit’. It was the type of fit that makes my muscles tense up and become rigid rather than thrash about. King Russell managed to unlock one of my arms and he looked very pleased with himself as he straightened it out and tucked it under my body to prevent it bending up again.

I said ‘Great, now can you work on the other one.’ We both looked and saw my hand had curled up into a claw. When I saw it, it gave me quite a shock.

As he tried to unlock it, King Russell edged it towards my face, making growling noises and saying ‘The claw hand is coming for you!’

This made us both laugh.
