RELEARN

AS I WAS JUST MAKING A PEANUT-BUTTER/JELLY SANDWICH, AND TRYING TO BRACE THE PLATE WITH MY HIP SO I CAN SPRED THE PEANUT-BUTTER, IT OCCURED TO ME THAT I HAVE HAD NEARLY 3 YEARS IN THIS NEW AND COMPLICATED BODY, I HAVE ADAPTED TO BEING IN MY WORLD WITH 1 HAND, SO MUCH THAT AT TIMES I ACTUALLY HAVE TO REMEMBER WHAT LIFE IS LIKE WITH 2 HANDS, I CAN HARDLY WAIT TO "RELEARN" SO MANY THINGS WITH 2 HANDS AGAIN LIKE GETTING DRESSED WITH 2 HANDS OR LEARN TO TIE SHOES AGAIN BRADE HAIR, AND DO A PONYTAIL DRIVE, OH HOW MY LIST COULD GO ON AND ON, I WANT TO HOLD A NEW BABY WHILE STANDING UP, A DOCTOR SEUSE THOUGHT COMES TO MIND "OH THE WONDERFUL THINGS"
IN 3 LONG YEARS, I FEEL LIKE I HAD TO START BACK AT ABOUT 10 MONTHS OLD, AND COMPLETELY START OVER WITH THE MOST BASIC TASKS, AND YET AT 3 YEARS OLD I STILL CAN'T CLAP, I'VE ALWAYS HAD A SENSE OF HUMOR, AND I CAN SURELY LAUGH AT MYSELF, BUT SERIOUSLY, ONCE MY HAND/ARM COMES BACK, I WILL SEE THE WORLD THROUGH NEW EYES, AND I JOKE, BUT I REALLY MEAN IT, I WILL WAVE AT EVERY PERSON I SEE, JUST LIKE A BABY WOULD, I WRITE ALL THESE ENTRIES NOT SO MUCH FOR ANYONE ELSE, BUT FOR ME TO LOOK BACK AT, ONCE I'VE CONQUERED MY WORLD
GOD BLESS
