frustrations

do you ever have a day when you can't move a certain way? maybe you slept funny and your neck is so stiff that you can't turn to the right?

now imagine years of days like that. ugh. i got used to my legs not moving the way i thought they should. i got used to my left hand not moving the way it once did. lately, my left hand has been giving me much more trouble. try doing something one-handed. most things need the second hand to at least stabilize something. if you've ever tried to push a wheelchair with one hand, you'd know steering is very difficult. just now, what prompted me to stop and write, i was trying to back up. my good hand got me going, but without the strength of the 2nd hand, i was soon backed into a corner. so, i turned around and went forward instead of backward. it got me out of the corner, but i didn't yet get where i was headed. i had to stop here to vent.

thanks for listening.

sometime, pick a task and watch how many body parts and movements it takes to complete that task. be grateful that you usually don't have to pay attention to all those little movements.
