I've noticed something strange lately, an unexpected aspect of the neuropathy from the chemo.
I can't fucking open jars and packets of stuff anymore. Even things like packets of crisps (not that the saliva glands would allow anything so sophisticated) defeat me, and I have to open them with scissors. I nearly launched a bottle of passata through the kitchen window over the weekend because I was absolutely unable to get the lid off. I was even contemplating smashing the bottle into a saucepan and then straining it though a tea towel .
In the end I punched holes with a screwdriver, then ripped the lid with a mole wrench.
I was always the person who got handed the things that nobody else could open.
