They are pyracantha trees. Thanks for naming them. I know them, but have never been bothered to look them up to put a name to the plant. We have mostly yellow ones, but red too.
I'm sorry to read you had to go through all that pain and discomfort. Unfortunately no one is an exception, bad things can happen to good people so quickly. The difference between people is, some adapt and find a way to get through the rough times, while others prefer to play the victim.
I use to think I was semi-ambidextrous, but not totally. I'm sure my left hand writing would be atrocious !
I understand you perfectly.
I had an inflammation on right hand and asked my brother to help shopping. He asked me to write a list, which I did, but some letters were written backwards 😂
There's room for improvement, that's for sure.
Write a list!! ha ha.... yeah...
Now I believe I have to make a piece of collage paper and write on it with my left hand, you know, like the asemic writing where it looks like writing but you can't read it. I've made some where I wrote things so sloppy and linked together that you can't read it and others where it was just jibberish, but never with my left hand. That will be fun.
I'm definitely not a "victim" kind of woman. Sure, I've had bad surprises and unhappy events and etc, but you know, that is just life. Nobody gets through it unscathed. I might take a day or two to let it soak in, but then my brain is automatically figuring out how I will get around or through it. Adapting is a huge strength, especially in aging.
