A recent surgery which repaired a hand and left one arm in a plaster cast, has reminded me that some things are much more easily done with two functional paws, including-
tying shoelaces
buttoning jeans
zipping up jackets
cutting up food with a knife and fork
washing dishes
flossing teeth
Fortunately, this inconvenience will only last two more weeks and then I can stop trying to type with one finger.
Be grateful!

Goodness sakes, Steve. Sorry to hear about your surgery and the consequences. Sounds difficult, but I admire your attitude.

Beyond the inconvenience, life is quite comfortable and I’m quite grateful to have access to quality health care. Thanks for stopping by!
Keep looking up. All good things come from there… and I do most of my postings via iPhone where there’s talk text granted it can’t always understand me… just as soon as any of us think we got it tough we ought to read YOUR blog!
Your attitude to life is such an inspiration!
Thank you. I take comfort in listening to the magic of your poetry and the fellowship of shared journeys.
