Biceps

Cathy made quite the amazing discovery the other day, and I'm very excited about it – my right biceps is visible. That is to say, when I flex it, you can see it twitch in my arm.

I cannot even begin to express how amazing that is.

A few months ago, I wasn't even sure I could feel it. In October, I could feel it and the therapists couldn't. In November, it was finally confirmed – the therapists could feel a contraction when I tried to move my arm. Now, in December, is unmistakable, it is undeniable – we can actually see it move.

This is very, very exciting.

I feel as if I'm slowly becoming reconnected with myself.

On a mostly unrelated note, I have to say that the terms "biceps" really irks me. Singular nouns ending in an 's' are bothersome enough; singular nouns ending in an 's' that are identical to the collective term they are part of are downright vexing.
