A Snail's Pace

[linthornhill]

I have a new understanding of the word slow. That's the speed at which my arm is healing

Oh, honey, I know exactly what you mean. Ten weeks in a soft cast! Hellish!

But you are right, of course. The river knows about patience, and so shall we ... whether we like it or not.

GIVE ME PATIENCE NOW.

~sigh~

~gentle hugs~

::bangs head on desk::

Yes. It's just horrid. I do get to take it off on occasion, but I pretty much run around with a single chopstick shoved up the cast to scratch! Sigh.

::hugs::

Boo on not being healed yet, but I'm really happy that no surgery is required and that you'll get full use back.

Patience, m'dear. Time will fly by before you know it! You can do it! I have faith in you!

[linthornhill]

I'm not sure about time flying by, but it will indeed pass. I really, really hope so.

Thanks for the encouragement.

I know you know what it's like to have an endless-seeming injury. I think I'll wrap my left leg in bubble-wrap. It's the only limb which hasn't been broken or injured in the past five years!

[linthornhill]

Regrettably it's my right arm, the dominant one. So writing in longhand is even worse because it inflames the nerves which are pinched/swollen/whatever.

::sigh::

I will be curtailing my computer time. Just not entirely.

At least you don't have to juggle small children with it! AND you can write.

[linthornhill]

You're so right!

When I fractured my pelvis giving birth, so many years ago, it was horrid. I had a baby to lift and I wasn't supposed to bend, lift, or hold any weight. Yeah. Right.

But you've reminded me that this too shall pass, and I'll be fine on the back end.

Less PC time, and more writing time.

::smooch::

Thank you for being so positive, dearest.

[linthornhill]

Thank you, dearest.
