How well could you do without your dominate hand?


I've been having some shoulder/arm/hand pain and for the last few days have been using my left hand for most things, remotes, computer mouse etc. Using the computer mouse wasn't as hard as I thought it would be.

I’ve used my non-dominate hand before but it just feels weird. 😀

My grandma became paralyzed from a stroke over 10 years ago. She can only use the left side of her body, but she was right handed. She does pretty well for herself. I think the hardest part is writing, but I could be wrong.

I'm right handed but for some reason I my left handed feels more comfortable doing most things. I'll change the channels, open doors, use my phone, turn on the lights and catch with my left. The only things I do with my right (no masturbation jokes, sickos) is write, throw and use a computer mouse.

Honestly it hurt so much to use my right hand. I can't explain about the tendons that run from your shoulder to your hand but it hurt.

I’m fairly ambidextrous, so not too bad.

So am I with the exception of writing cursive, but I can print just fine.
