Not yet independent!

In August last year, I had a broken arm in a cast and thought I could just keep going as normal with a bit of minor inconvenience to get in my way. That’s me, I’m a funny mixture of cynicism and optimism. The truth is, that I’m still doing bending and stretching arm exercises. I can pick up a cup of coffee now and light my own stove, but there’s still a fair way to go before I get back to normal. Post op, my doctor said I could lose 20 percent of my arm extension, but that optimism I have is pushing me through. Or maybe it's determination not to give in till I have to. I’m not sure if anybody is bothering to read my posts, but if you are, patience is the trick. It takes months to heal. And hard work.
