It's been a long year

It's been almost a full year since my last post. In that year, I've had two more surgeries with all the recovery and PT that goes along with them. I'm still in physical therapy. I've finally progressed from lifting a broomstick to actual weights. They're 3 pound weights but still...progress has been made.

In my last surgery, they cleaned scar tissue off my nerves, and now my left hand works a lot better. My fingers are still slow and heavy, but it no longer hurts to type. That numb, pins and needle feeling went from permanent to an intermittent "your hand is tired of working and needs a break." As I continue to heal, I look forward to being able to write much more often and with a lot less effort.

I may never be as fast as I was before my accident, but it finally feels joyful to write again.
