My Daily challenge for my left hand

Today as I was peeling potatoes for our soup tonight, I challenged myself to try, one time to put the potato peeler in my left hand, and swipe the potato with it.

 

The evil Amy said,"You can't silly you had a stroke, don't try..."

 

My challenge was only one time, after I realized I needed to readjust my thumb to steady my hand, My left hand got carried away, I must admit, my tongue was probably sticking out I was concentrating so hard, and potato peelings were landing on the floor and who knows where else.. I was just so happy to be "sloppy peeling" the poatoes left handed. At the last potato it did seem to get easier or I was telling myself that since I was on the last potato?? I skipped to the phone and called hubby...."GUESS WHAT I JUST DID???????" I was like a little kid who just learned how to ride a bike.

 

Now, I must challenge myself to do something every day I don't normally do with my left hand-I just started using it when I talk again.*big grin*

 

That OT session was free!! I need to do this more often. Who wants some potato soup?

Mmmm - pass some potato soup my way - CONGRATS!

 

I do the same thing. I moved my the computer mouse to the left side and continue to use it that way (switching the clicking functions as well) & I always brush my teeth with my left hand now.

 

Woo hoo!! :cheer:
