My birthday has come and gone yeah hooray. I got cards from AARP, the Scooter Store and the Hard of Hearing Clinic. How many ways can we say OLDER than dirt???
Well, I finally got the carpal tunnel surgery on my right hand after months of having to postpone it. I bet they were wondering if I was one of those kind of people. This brought home to me that I am neither ambidextrous nor am I sorta right or left handed. I am a dominant right handed person.
I had to close my eyes in order to brush my teeth with my left hand. I had to have help putting on my sneakers and bra. Those were the normal to be expected type of problems what surprised me was how often I was brought to a standstill by my inability to do something with my left hand. I NEVER pick up my purse with my left hand. Apparently I pick up everything with my right hand. I open doors with my right hand, I even close doors with my right hand. How do I know these things? Well, my hand hurts every time I try to use it.
True cross dominance is apparently rare, however a lot of lefties appear ambidextrous because they had to learn to do some things with their right hand because I guess -- they had to. A lot of people teach themselves to be ambidextrous for sports. Weirdly enough, my side stroke is left hand dominated I wonder if the person who taught me was a leftie.
This has to be a short post. I'm writing it with my left hand and spend most of the time backspacing to clear the incorrect keys. More later.
