Life, Injuries, Homeschooling and what ever…

When you are right handed, you do not realize how much you do with your left hand until you can’t use it.

I have gotten to where I can do some light typing….that is about it. My thumb and index finger can meet. My middle finger and ring finger do not work well. No pressure can be applied, no weight, no twisting lids off of jars, no picking anything up, no buckling of seat belt if you are a passenger, no closing of car door if you are the driver and no swimming stroke with that hand.

Life has become a challenge with the limitations of the left hand. Monday I will be back at the Doctor’s getting the left fore arm, wrist, hand and fingers xrayed. My husband who is all wise thinks it is definitely a ligament problem. He said it would be better for me to have broken the hand.

Two fingers stay swollen and I cannot make a fist at all. I almost dropped a pan of french fries on the floor the other night. It was a close call and they were the good seasoned fries. That would have been bad….

On Monday I will have 11 kids to over see. Three of which are mine….

Life here has slowed down a little. Hubby is reviewing the kids in math for me. He likes math and it gives him time with the kids.

We will also be taking out tests next week. I know, we are running that one close to the wire. Seaton is great. They will email me the results as soon as the tests are graded.
