Hello my lovely readers!
This week's #WordyandWheelyWednesdays entry is comparatively short - partly because I'm tired and have a lot of work to do, but mostly because I'm writing about a smaller change that has occurred. Smaller, but no less significant. This is in an effort to take stock of just how many things are shifting for me at the moment, on all sorts of levels - because, when faced with the bigger things I've accomplished recently in terms of regaining mobility, there has been a tinge of sadness that I've been without it for so long.
This doesn't quite make sense to me, and it doesn't sit very well with my predominant positivity (despite the fact that my therapist would probably be thrilled that I seem able to acknowledge negative emotions now without immediately suppressing them). So, in order to remind myself that it's far more fun to look forward than back, I've used the early part of this week to take stock of all the much less grandiose changes occurring, some of which have been germinating for a while.
The first of these gave rise to this post's title, and is as follows: I now have enough stability and mobility in my right hand to safely drive my chair whilst holding (empty) plates or bowls. I know this because I just tried it, in order to take my pasta bowl back to the kitchen, without disturbing Fiona from essay writing. It worked - so she'll hopefully have no idea until she reads this post!
I think I'll tackle washing up soon...! For now, though, it's back to (academic) work.
Love for tonight
Jx
