Retrospect

I am going to retrace the events of the last 3 weeks. It is now two days before Christmas, and about 4 days since I can move my right forearm thus enabling me to keyboard. I can literally retrace every second, minute, hour of events up until now because this is a Waiting Game. Plain and Simple. It isn't that I want to savor the challenges, re-experience the anguish of complete surrender, or do a dipsy blow by blow account, rather my hope is to make some sense of this and remind myself of the changes that have occurred as a result - both physical, emotional and intellectual. But just so you know right from the get go and want to imagine how this works...put your arms at your side, fold them in front of you, and this is exactly the position you have to maintain for 6 weeks. It sucks big time.
