The first Monday of November is the annual – and unofficial (at least in Canada) – day to raise awareness for a rare and usually invisible disease. Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), often referred to it by its former name; Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD).
For information about CRPS, you can read my post from earlier this morning, or from CRPS awareness day last year. This year I decided to create a puzzle for you, rather than providing more information about CRPS ‘-)
Of course, the goal of the puzzle is to raise awareness of CRPS… Hope you enjoy it! My idea was to make a puzzle that could be completed with one hand, because CRPS often affects a person’s hand and arm. In my case, it’s my right hand and arm and, yes, I’m right-handed.
I create these puzzles using a pencil on paper, so there’s no fancy on-line version; you can print this page to have a printed copy of the puzzle, or click on the link below for a PDF version. The PDF upload may not work, though, depending on how your computer is set up.
Either way you print it, please be environmentally-friendly and use the backside of a piece of paper that you don’t need; why not re-use an old letter, or some junk mail!
I’ll post the solution soon, so check back if you want to see how you did ‘-)
Have fun, and good luck with finding the solution…
