PT #9: Lose It, Then Use It

One perk of temporarily losing the use of wrist function is to appreciate the brilliance of the One who originally created the wrist (Psalm 139:14). The Craftsman. To observe the intricacy of every wrist movement involved in basic tasks, now dissected and more intentionally performed.

Like assembling favorite scrambled eggs. Does anyone really need a symphony of instruments playing Beethoven's 5th when breakfast preparation in itself is a masterful medley? plus a full-fledged workout of the healing wrist and hand?...

The beginning step requires hand strength plus a tricky wrist-swivel to lyrically dice a portion of red pepper into small squares; observe the slight wrists-bend for a two-handed egg crack; the curved and circular slo-mo (because of healing) but striving for "fast-twitch" wrist-rotate to whip together the egg's whites and yolks, like the circular motion of an orchestra conductor's wand; then, a firm fingertips-grip squeezes the bowl's side to prepare for the lift and forearm swivel-tilt to pour; the seasoned mixture hits a nutrient-infused, pre-heated iron skillet; its sizzle is nothing short of remarkable and music to the ears!

Mark the performance or accomplishment of the culinary moment. Enjoy savory eggs, and write the unscrambled lyrics.

In 6 weeks, IF there is anything to write about, wrist- or reunion- wise... I am in wait-and-see mode.
