Today I stayed home — I guess that’s not unusual, since that’s where I’ve been for most of the last month, but at least I could choose to go out if I like, now that I have two arms that sort of work.
I wanted to go out to a coffee shop or something like that, but it’s still disheartening to try and draw, even though I’ve managed to stretch the tendons in my hand quite a bit over the past few days and can grip things a bit more.
Instead, I decided to stay home and cook things. I made granola, waffles, and a savoury pie! It’s easy to take normal activities as a given, or to be greedy for more, but I appreciate that the things I did today (I opened jars!) were each a little breakthrough.
Since I’m being transferred to PEI’s healthcare system, I’ve been given the notes about my treatment to take with me. They’re pretty gross.
