@ray666 Ray - well, another "uh oh" and here I thought it was just getting older that my handwriting is way worse. I'd say about 5 years ago, numbers have become a challenge. I didn't tie it to PN but reading your post, I double checked with my wife, and she said that in 2018, my hands were tested and the neuro doc said I have a slight case of PN in left hand. I'm sure it is in both by now due to normal PN progression. So yes, we can add this to the list. My suggestion, do not write numbers with a pen, use a pencil with a good eraser. Ed

@njed Ed – That list of 'uh ohs' gets longer and longer, doesn't it, Ed? Thanks (or NO thanks)to sepsis, I've had to add a few additional 'uh ohs,' unrelated to my PN. I've always enjoyed writing letters by hand, on paper, using a good ('good,' but not expensive) fountain pen. A number of my distant friends got pleasure out of replying in kind, using all sorts of interesting stationery. Then, when I noticed my handwriting going all bonkers, going up and downhill, turning simple penmanship into lines of indecipherable curly-q's, I purchased a light table and taped a sheet of lined paper to the glass to give me visible guidelines. When I noticed that I could no longer stay within my visible guidelines, I chucked the whole rig and turned to MS Word. Numbers? Oh, numbers! Oh, lordy, no! A few days ago, a handyman doing some work on my house asked if possibly I could pay him with a check. I must have torn up two or three checks before I had one that looked like I was paying the handyman the amount I owed him. Avoiding writing numbers by hand has been on my 'uh oh' list for quite some time. – Ray (@ray666)
