The Left-Handed Adventures of Righty
A little background:
I’m right-handed. Completely.
Actually, before these adventures, I was pretty sure my left hand was
not connected to my brain at all. It just
kind of does its own thing. Even now, as
I type this up using only my left hand, spell check doesn’t even know what to
make of most errors. I’ll need to
heavily edit this before publishing so you can read (and understand) it.
So why would anyone in their right (see what I did
there? Lol) mind want to go around using
their non-dominant hand? Any number of
reasons really… curiosity, accidents, medical… in my case it was medical. I required surgery for my shoulder thanks to
a genetic pre-disposition causing the formation of bony “spurs” which create
problems for my rotator cuff and surrounding tissues. The other shoulder will need the surgery too,
but I didn’t feel adventurous enough to do them both at once. I’m also lucky enough for this restriction to
be temporary.
I thought it might be good to catalog my challenges so you
might get a good giggle out of it. Best
case scenario would be that my challenges might help someone else avoid the
struggles I dealt with. Or, most likely,
I’m writing this completely for myself and that’s cool too.
