Shouldn't…but Do

I took a step, I took a fall.

On the way, I had the briefest of moments to choose.  Hand or foot.  I chose stability over ability.  Probably says something.

Wrist broken in a couple of places.  Surgery ahead.

Today begins unique appreciation of the world with one hand.  So far, the child-proof cap on the pain medication and the pepper grinder proved frustrating.  Whoever invented arm slings that adjust in the back never wore one.  Bootlaces are out for the count.

Always felt lucky to be able-bodied.  Many are not.  Different challenges now.

Onward.
