Injured garden adventures

Everything takes long with one hand in a splint. I have to adapt routine tasks, and rescuing the seedling that got neglected after the injury was a lot less easy than it would be with two functioning hands. But I adjust and manage.

I’m glad you were able to work through the injury. Living a life with Ehlers-Danlos can be challenging but we learn to get things done, don’t we? You are definitely making progress in the garden. Two machines - hopefully the serve you well.

Living with Ehlers-Danlos made me not even realize what had happened until I was half-healed. Dislocations and subluxations are just such common occurrences. Apparently, I just pushed the finger back into the joint without even noticing. On the other hand, the injury would likely not even have been this severe if I didn't have cEDS. Our luck, right?
Thank you, Julie :)

I love my gorilla cart. Take it easy to allow healing.

I am and I will continue to do so :) The hand is now taped without a splint but I still rely on my left hand a lot.

I’m new to your video’s. I really like your narration / story telling. It’s like listening to a grown up version of a children’s book. Thanks! I hope your little plants will survive so you can slaughter them later 😉

[@RootsandCalluses]

That is one of the nicest compliments I have received. Thank you!

Thank you for the video. If you don't mind my asking, what does your husband do?

[@RootsandCalluses]

He is one of those people stuck behind a screen all day.
