When I had surgery and was in a cast many years ago, I realized how hard it would be for me to not be able to get up and do what I wanted to do quickly. That experience gives me some hint of what it must be like for you, and I am sorry that you’re in this position. Hard enough to not be as mobile as one would like but to also experience pain makes it ever more challenging. I think it’s wonderful that you have an outlet in writing, and I am grateful that our paths crossed and I get to read your work.
