I remember very well the first time I caught myself as I started to fall. It was about 15 months after my stroke. It has continued to get better. Almost always catch myself now. Congrats. Things are only looking up.

It is shocking, surprising and glorious all at once when your affected hand/arm does anything on its own. Congrats to you! Jump on the opportunity and start using it as a helper, capitolize on the rewiring that is happening.

Good, glad it is moving, as Pam & Lin said try to use it more and get control of it!!! Mine started movinf but for awhile had a "mind" of it's own...lol I now use it and I think it is re programmed.

Best wishes to you

My right hand has basically always worked. The real problem with it was writing. I do that but would like my penmanship to be a little better. My left hand has taken over many things. I have been eating fingeer foods with my left hand for quite a while now. Today I went to Sonic and was sitting in the car eating because I was too lazy to get out and sit at a table. I was rushed and had a lot to do after. As I sat there, I had the bag with the ff's on my right and, I dropped one when I finally got ahold of one and said to myself- this isn't working so I held the pkg. in right hand and picked them out and ate them with the left.Worked well.

Monday,I volunteered to do some stuffing of invitations for a fashion show a club I belonged to is giving. The chairman set the work up (cards going into envelopes (the responses) but I had to reverse things and put the card in with my left hand. Worked like a charm. Then stamping envelopes- also left-handed. I never practiced anything left-handed, the brain jusy did it. I've been thinking of learning to write left-handed; it could be better. Yes, it is exciting.
