Sharing , so we can enjoy the finer comedic moments together

It's been well over a year since I lost varying degrees of feeling and control  in my right hand, specifically the thumb, forefinger, middle finger and wrist.

For awhile, it was useless and swollen. For awhile, it was very painful. For awhile, I couldn't pick things up.  For awhile, I thought I had gotten used to it, and found the right grip strength judgement and was back on autopilot.

This morning at 5 am, I slammed shut my microwave door because I completely misjudged when my hand would touch the door.  Hope I didn't upset my neighbor. There are days when it is much more numb than others.

Now I am back to zero days since my last incident. I use these moments to remind myself to keep working on strength and motor skills in my left hand.

Today was much cooler, so my wife and I  prepared three large meals and portioned and froze most of them.  Ok, I helped as much as she would allow me.
With our health issues and doctor appointments, it helps to have meals ready to go. It also keeps us from using the oven as much in the dog days of summer.

May not make it back for Grandkids birthdays.  Disheartening, but not sure if either of us is up to the trip.

Crap. It's Thursday. I'm supposed to save the world or something.
