Seriously. How can it be almost the end of May? I was shoveling snow February 13 and broke my distal radius. A three-hour plus operation on February 18 fixed it with a place, screws, and internal pins. For almost 90 days John has done everything from shoe-tying to meal prep and cleanup.
Staying in place? Absolutely. But it's been all about the wrist, not about Covid-19. I've done some minor sewing, thanks to a machine with a knee-lift and automatic scissors. Mostly I've been sad because I haven't been able to sew. I missed QuiltCon in Austin and was very sulky about that. Because I couldn't sew, I avoided FB and Instagram and quilt magazines.
Now? I will resume PT as soon as I heal from last week's surgery to remove the pins. For the first time in three months I can type with 2 hands. I am seeing a light at the end of this odd tunnel. And - best progress of all - I have a list of things I want to say. Maybe I'll try for an entry a day... Wow, this is the most chipper I've been in 3 months!
