It’s the simple things
It took me 10 minutes to figure out how to get my t-shirt off.
I had been clothing myself in button front shirts since my last race of the season. Now free of the figure 8 brace and tired of wearing the same 5 shirts all the time I took the opportunity to crawl back in to a t-shirt. Putting on the soft cotton bit of joy was no problem but at the end of the day I had a bit of a challenge.
The way I had taken off shirts in the past required articulating my body in a way that I just can not do at the moment. So I sat there on the bed trying several ways to take it off. Most of the time I’d get it half way off before finding I’d put my self in a position that I could no longer remove the shirt without shooting pain through my clavicle. Eventually I did figure it out.
It’s these simple task that I miss the most right now. What was once second nature now take a long time and require a bit of forethought before attempting. I would like to say that I’ll never take these thing for granted again, but I know that once I’m fully recovered these trials will be a distant memory. For now, it’s all I can think about.

Glad to hear you are slowly getting better, even if it does take an hour to take your shirt off. :p
