PN and handwriting …

I used to have great penmanship and I used to get asked if I went to Catholic school.
Now that my right hand is numb, I can’t even hold a pen, or sign my name etc.
Very frustrating!

Good morning, @fatalfflaw, @harley22

My handwriting has deteriorated so slowly that for the longest time, I hadn’t even noticed. I recall the first time a doctor (my neurologist), in discussing my PN, asked if I’d seen a change in my handwriting. The question took me by surprise. I did what I often do when taken by surprise: I play defense. ‘Hell, no,’ I told him. ‘My handwriting is as good today as when I was a child.’ Of course, it wasn’t. It was only in the wake of the doctor’s question that I began to notice how much my handwriting had deteriorated.

An unanswered question remains: Is my handwriting worsening due only to getting older? Or only to my PN? Or to a combo of both? ‘Tis a mystery. 🙂

Cheers!
