@cathy514 Hi Cathy. Have you tried using both hands to control writing? Sometimes 2 hands are better than one! I did that myself a couple years ago. I am an artist, and I couldn't hold my arms up and control my brush strokes, so I used 2 hands together on a painting. I had this problem because of spinal cord compression, and I did have surgery and rehab and regain control of my arms and I worked for that. You don't have to try to do everything like everyone else, just do things the way it works best for you. Don't keep that a secret. Your friends will understand if you explain how it helps you and show them how happy you are when you can do it. Always celebrate small victories. The people who care about you will like you just the way you are.
