Five things for a Saturday morning
Sat, Jul. 25th, 2020 10:45 am1. Thursday was the surgery to fix my trigger thumb. It went quickly; I was in and out in about three hours. After surgery I had lunch with KSWINOD (KS who is not on DreamWidth), picked up my pain meds, came home and napped. Took a sick day yesterday from work because I was just knackered and in pain. Still just chillin'.
2. The NHL has announced the name of Seattle's new hockey team, the Kraken, and as a child of Long Island in the 1970s, when the Islanders had their dynasty years, I'm all in. I love the logo, I love the idea of Seattle hockey. I'm happy.
3. I have all this time and I want to craft, but my dexterity is significantly reduced and it's driving me a little bit crazy.
4. Protests are planned in Seattle today. I have prior plans for things today, but I continue to donate to supporting organizations. For now, that will have to be enough. I have friends who are putting their bodies into the fray; I admire them. I have, however, what they don't: disposable income to help the work go on. So that's my contribution. For now.
5. I took a shower this morning, the first since surgery on Thursday; I was too beat and freaked out to shower before. The hospital gave me three evening-length plastic gloves to put on my arm so that I wouldn't get the dressings on my hand wet (not to use all at once, mind you--one at a time as needed). I used a rubber-band on my upper arm to make sure the water stayed out. It was a very peculiar experience showering that way, and it was weird washing my hair that way. I suspect I won't really feel clean until I can use both my hands properly again.
