Rita, The whole thing is totally amazing! I'm so happy for you. The last paragraph stands out-- "Surgery on Monday, and Tuesday evening I was fixing dinner (it takes a lot of skill and energy to open a package of pork chops and put them on the grill!!!" I have never fully understood, nor probably will never understand ,why a PWP can't open anything. They told me I'd have problems with "Finely co-ordinated acts", I just didn't realize there would be so many of them. The scissors are the most important tool in my kitchen, and I carry a small pair in a leather sheath in my purse ,to open things when I'm not home. My bottle and jar opener has a long handle on it so it gives better leverage, but the energy to do so can't be bought!!!! Unfortunately!!! Please don't overdo, take it easy and enjoy life.
