I think acceptance has finally come. If I'm going to walk with this stupid limp, so be it. If my hand is not going to work, so be it. I'm tired of stressing about getting my walking right, and I'm coping ok one handed. Pity about water-skiing and beach volley ball, but hey, life goes on! I'd like to wish everyone out there Happy holidays, I hope we all eat far too much and have LOTS of fun.
