A One Sided Existence: My Challenge to You

I have spent the last few weeks since my accident with only the use of my right hand. It has given me a new perspective and insight into the challenges of everyday life some face, myself included now.
I challenge each of you watching this to tape your hand up into a fist, then put it in a sling or restrain it in some way and then try to just do something like get a cup of coffee, make a sandwich, wash your hands, pull up your jeans and button them, use a can-opener… It is an amazing experience to live this way and to realize how much we take for granted in being 100% able bodied.

So who wants to take me up on the challenge.

    Maya,

    Very interesting idea. I will accept your challenge. I will dedicate 6 hours of my Saturday to restricting my hand mobility to my left hand only (since I’m right handed). This should certainly be interesting, considering I have a day full of errands.

    Great suggestion and I will let you know my thoughts!
