As you can imagine,
there's been a lot of celebrating
going on around here for the past 24 hours.
going on around here for the past 24 hours.
But as glad as I am to have been released from cast-hell,
I am not entirely ungrateful for some aspects of the experience.
I'm referring to definitions two and three, of course -- we've already established that I don't draw well enough to have any grasp of definition one. (And sadly, having a cast did not really help with that.)
It seems that sometimes getting a
sudden magnification
of one small aspect of life . . .
can help bring the rest into focus a little better.
Today I am genuinely happy because:
I have on pants with both a zipper and a button.
I was able to push the garage door opener while simultaneously holding a case of diet coke.
I took a shower, including (but not limited to) washing my hair with both hands.
Short list, but it's enough.
Not most days, mind you, but today. 
Which represents
a welcome and
appropriate adjustment
to my perspective.

Congrats on being released. Doing with out something we take for granted always seems to have a way of putting things into perspective.
So glad you're flying with both wings now, Susan!!!
Good news, Susan. I thought of you this evening when I stood looking at my print of Contentment that you so generously gave away (to thankful me); great to be released from cast-purgatory. Nothing like a full shower to open one’s view of plenty
Oooh, yikes! See what happens when I leave for a long time? I come back to see you've had surgery, was in a cast and are now healed!
Didn't you just hate that cast? I hated mine when I had elbow surgery. There were a lot of things I had to do differently (I'm right handed and it was my right elbow). Sure is a lesson in patience isn't it?
Glad you're using both hands/arms now. What freedom! And I'm really glad I'm back to reading my favorite blog.
