Am I settling for what I have?
I think I have come to a place in my recovery that I thought I would never get to.
I think I am happy with where I am in occupational therapy recovery. I don't care if my left hand ever paints/writes again.
I can make do with my right hand. I have grieved my left hand's death. My left hand is functional for gross motor. It makes a good paper weight. I am tired of working to make it perfect again, when I know it will probably never be 100% again. That is okay by me. Is it okay to settle where you are in recovery?
Is it fair to do that? Maybe I need to talk it over with my OT?
Has anyone else gotten to this stagnant area of recovery? Or am I an Olympic drop-out?
