Snuggling up on the couch and watching a movie then getting up and walking to the washroom during commercials or break should be a simple thing that requires no effort. Well to me it's a dream.
I know that and I'm okay with it. I haven't stopped living - I have just learnt to live it differently.
I have become accustomed to my life - so much so that sometimes I too take things for granted.
As you know, I enjoy scrapbooking and creating things with my hands.
I fussy cut, punch, glue and die-cut. I may not be able to walk but I could always count on my hands. So this week when it hurt to move my thumb I thought nothing of it.
But then when I tried to use the scissors I could not open and close them. Okay, so no fussy cutting, I'll work around it. But then it was impossible to use even a simple punch or my corner chomper. My thumb was just too sore. So an early night it was with just me and my Advil. It's now been 2 days and I cannot lift a dinner plate or hold my much needed morning coffee.
I know when I transferred into bed the other night I slipped and banged my hand but it did not hurt at the time. I was just thankful for not falling. Could it be that? It feels sprained - but how? Maybe a broken blood vessel as hubby suggests. I don't know. All I know is that I don't like it and I miss my scrapping. I have a custom order partially made, Christmas items to finish and presents to wrap.
But, most important I have a new grandbaby due anytime now that I need to hold and cuddle!
Hopefully it will go away as quick as it came and that soon I'll be back at it.
In the meantime,
Have a Great Week!
