Giles,
Glad you are moving, it sounds like the damage to Caron's hand is not too serious. As soon as she is able I think she should stretch the muscles and tendons by doing hand exercises.
Since I am an old man and have been riding motorcycles for 40+ years my hands have taken a beating. I do yoga type exercises every day.
For my hands I go on the floor on hands and knees and put my hands flat, palms down turning them 90 degrees until I go around the clock. Then do the same with your weight on the backs of the hands. This prevents Carpal tunnel type problems and is generally good for everything.
Caron should start slowly and build up repitions until all the pain is gone.
For your problem with the tank bag there is no solution except amputation.
Bill.
