Squares in December: Day 4: Time

Becky’s squares in December theme is TIME.

Time heals all wounds…I broke my elbow in September 2012… it was a long haul to recovery, 2 surgeries, and close to a year of physical therapy. After 3 weeks in a cast, my arm would not bend at all, which makes one appreciate all the things taken for granted, never realizing just how much one needs an arm to bend. Finally in January, (yes, 4 months later) I had made some progress, and was able to hold a coffee cup, my elbow could bend and allowed me to bring the cup to my mouth, and my arm had regained enough strength to hold it. The gift of time.

    • Elbows are finicky and don’t like being put out of use. The hardware(screws & plate) were causing problems too, so 6 months after they put it in, they took it out. Crazy time
