Oh Amy...my heart curled up. I am so sorry for this indescribable pain...
I watched my mother live with pain for many years - herniated disc too...I have a profound respect for those who learn to find ways to keep moving through it all.
Wishing you a speedy recovery - and I want you to know: even with one hand, the words you produce are still - droplets of magic!
Hope you can record your words with audio files - until you can find the right time and place to write without physical pain.
Much love to you...- get better soon! 💐🌼🌻
