It’s just another day in the life of Ravin with her black DLATS as she wakes up from her alarm and gets out of bed. She puts on some socks and heads to the kitchen to make some scambled eggs, which is not very easy with two long arm thumb spicas. She does all the steps of making them from cracking the eggs to cooking them on the stovetop. Then she eats some muffins by sitting them out and bending over for a bite. After an ordeal with making breakfast, she tries and fails to pull her toast out of the toaster and grabs a bag of chips instead, but the chips are open on the bottom and spill all over the floor. She gets down on the floor and picks them all up with her fingers, then sweeps up the crumbs with a broom and dustpan. After nearly twenty minutes, it’s time to eat. Holding the fork between her middle and index fingers, it’s hard to reach her mouth but she manages it. It’s a frustrating morning. After peeling an orange and leaning forward to eat it off the table, she knocks her water over with her arm cast and has to clean that up. When she’s done eating, she notices that she missed some of the mess but she doesn’t want to get back on the floor so she picks up each thing with her feet and drops it in the trash. After breakfast, she brushes her hair and puts her shoes and socks on. She gets the shoes on but gives up on tying them without thumbs. She waters the plants and itches her casts with a stick. |
