At the risk of being trite, I’m going to join the chorus of those who’ve noticed that it’s really inconvenient (and fairly dangerous) to hobble around on crutches following surgery and salute those who manage to do this on a regular basis.
Nothing like a little foot surgery to make me appreciate my usual (though yes, ill-conceived) ability to do six things at once. Testing out the premise that it’s better to focus on one thing at a time, I’ve read two books in four days and filled six garbage bags with documents accumulated in office drawers since 2005 and happily retrieved the instructions to a previously “non-working” radio. Who knew the “on” button was in the back?
No doubt staying in one place is helping me focus. Now, if I could only keep my thoughts so well tethered….
