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?

so happy for you, my stupid hand just wants to stay as fist, had big fight with hubby since he keeps on telling me to try things with that hand, and I get frustrated,

 

you should go out and celebrating your potato soiup tonight, and sendit to me some,

 

everyday keep on trying new things and vola you are using your hand again.
