"There are 2 ways of meeting difficulties, you alter the difficulties or you alter yourself to meet them." Phyllis Bottome

Things that are hard (nearly impossible) with one hand:

  • buttoning pants with multiple button (i.e. dress pants)
  • pulling my hair back
  • washing my right arm (don't wrry, it gets done!)
  • opening pop bottles
  • folding laundry (oh, but I can!)
  • wearing a coat
  • pushing a cart
  • carrying heavy stuff
  • washing dishes
Things that are easier now than a week ago:
  • walking
  • putting shirts on
  • deoderant application
  • one handed typing
  • cooking
  • driving
  • sleeping...kinda

I am so ready to have 2 hands again...

How is your recovery going? What was the surgery for?

you'll get there! Hopefully it will be sooner, rather than later.

You're making great strides-it is amazing what we are thankful for that we take forgranted after a surgery!!!
Heal up!
