Many of you know that last August I did this...
With one of these........
STUPID CARELESS MISTAKE!!Six weeks of this.... and I thought I would be all better!!
Well that just isn't the case. I have done all the exercises the doctor gave me and I still can't pick up a lot of things and when I do I drop them. I can't open jars or even cut an apple. I have no grip or strength left in that hand and yes it is my dominant hand. I am getting better at doing a FEW things with my left hand but I get sooo frustrated!! I hate having to ask for help. I feel like a baby when we go out to dinner and my husband has to cut my steak, but grasping a knife is almost impossible. OK....now I am starting to think this is more about pride than frustration! But I just hate it. I am having trouble at work opening boxes and actually slipped and cut myself the other day. If I am home alone and want to open a jar I can't and even though I am not afraid of the mixer...wasn't it's fault I made such a stupid mistake, I can't use it either. So I either have to make sure someone opens everything before they leave or someone has to be home when I do things. That is really putting a cramp in my cooking and baking skills!!! OK....I just needed to sound off and now that I have done that do I feel better...NO but it's the only place I can do it...LOL
I guess I have done things when I want and how I want especially in the kitchen for so long that having to wait or ask for help just makes me feel helpless and I HATE that feeling!
