March 7: Tuesday. Dozing at my computer. Later out to run an errand and felt
liberated, light and fluffy too. Can use
my left hand without much pain…what a gift.
March 8: Wednesday. The week is flying along. I look up the writing class and see it is in
the same place. Wonderful. A new full time manager has been hired at
work…I hope they let me have the book job back.
Every day I follow bloggers that I have grown to care for. Some are creaking slowly back to wellness,
but others are silent. I fear. Friday I have stitches out.
March 9: Thursday. Awake and worrying this morning. Both G and I woke around 0330 this
morning. For Some reason my thoughts
were with Dianne who isn’t doing at all well with pneumonia and heart
difficulties. Please keep her in your
thoughts. Hattie and my “Private” blogging
friend have cancer. G drove up north to
make employee showing at the office.
When they want to show a new account around, all the folks who work at
home, come in wearing their official shirts.
Make a showing.
March 10: Friday. 0717:
I get stitches out today. G says
that I get another cast, but I don’t know…I certainly hope not. Outside the trees are sprouting tiny green
leaves that give everyone hope.
1334: Stitches outch…and instructions. No I can’t use my thumb for anything. No grasping, no grabbing, no shelving books
either. But I can type, I can take a
quick shower all by myself, and I can drive again as soon as I am comfortable
driving one handed. Liberation….but for
a thick and overly sturdy brace paid for by G.
If they hadn’t trusted me, I would have had a cast. Now to rig up something to cover the brace
and I’m back in the pool.
Life is no longer fully
limited by my complete lack of hands.
Congratulations n the progress you've made.
ReplyDeleteGood to hear how well you're coming along. Schmidley will be slower -- likely ups & downs. Patience for all.
ReplyDeleteSuch good news that you are healing so well. Mind your ps and qs so you don't get set back.
ReplyDeleteIt will absolutely be worth all this to be able to use my thumb again.
DeleteYour recovery is proceeding apace then.
ReplyDeleteYes, thank you.
DeleteGood news! Yay! You are making great progress!
ReplyDeleteGreat progress Mage. Be careful :-). Worried about Dianne and the pneumonia. Hugs to you friend.
ReplyDeleteYes, very worried about Dianne and her fading husband.
DeleteWe are going through some rough waters. Best to all, and good healing, Mage. And thanks for the good wishes sent in my direction.
ReplyDeleteI think the waking early is to do with the season. I seem to be waking at 4am. so glad your hand is healing. I know only too well the frustrations of restricted movement. Patience is all.
