Wonderful- water and wells!! The flow of life. Glad to hear you’re getting assistance and accepting help with grace and humility. It’s not as easy as we think! Look forward to your post. Highly recommend Fifty Holy Wells published here on Substack by The Abbey of Misrule. You will embrace and enjoy!
Hang in there. When I tore my rotator cuff in 2020, the doctor told me as I was going to sleep that it'd be a 90-minute surgery. I was woken up after 5 minutes of surgery because I was beginning to code. So, unexpectedly, that day I ended up in the cath lab and it was nearly 2 months later before I received the other 85 minutes of my surgery; which took 3 hours.
As a result, however, I began using my mouse with my left hand; something I continue to do so today. When I have had to use someone else's mouse since in my right hand, it feels "foreign."
Amazing what we can teach our brains today, or rather, what it can figure out through brain plasticity.
Hope you continue to heal well. And yes, a slower pace sounds good, but I have found in my off-grid experiences things are fast simply because there's so precious little time to get what you NEED to get done, and then add in trips for supplies, the weather, black bears, and mud. But I hear what you're saying!
God bless you and all who are tending to you. Are your PTs making you roll a big ball up a wall? I thought that was murder for a while.
Keep safe. And don't lift more than a gallon of milk or whatever you've been cleared to pick up. Trust me, the second procedure ain't fun no way no how!
