I have talked Doug into giving me three days to see how the injuries present themselves. The body is such an amazing miracle. Yesterday, I couldn't even move my fingers, but today I can. I am not in much pain, unless I move, therefore, I am not moving. But my body systems are busy taking care of business and mostly keeping me sleeping while they do so.
The right side of me is taking on all the extra duty. My right hand and arm is getting used to going from being the non-dominant helper to the total caretaker. Of all the new tasks, the thing I do the best right-handed is eating.
Word is beginning to travel about my accident. It makes me too sad to talk about it, so I haven't called many people that I should have. I hope they forgive me for that. Today I crawled into Doug's lap and just sobbed and sobbed.
My family and friends and even my new tennis team acquaintances have been so encouraging and supportive. It is wonderful how a phone call and/or an email can cheer one and specifically, how they have cheered me.
