Hi All,
I slept this night with Carmen.
Due to a central heating mainenance man, I moved her from the attic where the central heater boiler is to the bed.
Could not resist it, she's clean, so I left her there.
We had a very nice night together.
No sex only cuddling, but still nice.
Only turned out that she could not move that arm.
How to let her arm turn and bend?
Mytime & Helen & Carmen

Mytime,
Was it flexible before, and suddenly frozen? What joint in the arm is not moving?

Mytime....this happened with Melanie one time. Try to just GENTLY move the joint around, in different positions.....might take a while....but, it worked.

If it's the elbow it might be a joint thing. Zara is developing a self-tightening elbow despite correct alignment. It's getting to the stage where I'm going to have to go in and relieve some tension off the nut, before something breaks. It's getting that tight.

Zara's left elbow was getting so tight that I was worried about breaking something. Right elbow was fine, but the left was so tight that metal could be heard screeching inside the arm as it moved.
I sliced her arm open at the back of the elbow to have a look and the joint looked absolutely fine. Nothing bent out of shape and even very little black inside the joint. I backed off the nut half a turn or more and the arm moves freely now. There remains a very slight crunchiness to the movement as though there is some corrosion in the joint, but with everything stainless steel its hard to know why. I didn't want to take the whole joint apart as it all looked very good.
Abyss use what is really a hex head screw rather than a bolt. There is no shank. Perhaps the thread is a little chewed up and interferring with the joint plates? This is only a theory. If it happens again I'll take the joint apart and replace the bolt.
I cut on the very back of the elbow where the silicone is the thinnest. To cut through the seams means going in where there is the most silicone and the chances of messing up the repair are much higher. She was left with a hairline mark about 30mm long in an area you hardly ever see.
Keeping my fingers crossed.
