Status update

Things I notice;
  • I have switched hands using the computer mouse. I now use it with my left hand, as my right isn't precise enough
  • When I eat, I like to lift up the plate or bowl so that my hand doesn't have to travel so far. I very often shake when eating, but I'm unwilling to start eating with my left hand
  • My hand and foot feel like they have a tendency to curl
  • My right arm doesn't swing when I walk
  • My right arm shakes involuntarily when I yawn (, etc.)
  • things I do with both hands really highlight the difference; putting on deodorant under my left arm is very difficult compared to under my right arm - my right arm just doesn't respond the way I want it to
  • I'm not confident when I carry something in both hands, especially drinks as I feel like I'm going to spill the one in my right hand
  • I like to have my left hand free to grab the handrail when I go down stairs
I'm sure there's more I'm forgetting. I'll post as I remember.

Caught

One of the men at Bible Study noticed. He saw that I don't move my right arm very well, and that it shakes.
He's the first person to notice.
