Reeling

Last night, I was home alone and I was processing my mail. I realized that my hand strength has left me so much that I can’t even drag my finger along the sealed part to get it open. I was tearing envelopes open left and right. But it was all junk mail! It didn’t really matter.

I took a breath and it started looking at the mail that I had received. I did NOT open the letters I received from AAA (that’s my car insurance), medicaid, and a card from my best friend.

I didn’t even tell my mom about it until today. I told her that I was punched in the face again and I told her about my lack of hand strength. We are going to work together to figure that out. I am reeling right now! I am dealing with so much and it keeps coming!!!

My Mom recognized how upset I was about this newest development. I told her that I think a tooth is loose from this last face punch! And I think to keep me from crying, she just said, “You have a good dentist!”
