Hello Fellow Travelers!
I often comment on the brain cancer survivor's need to always be ready for whatever life throws at you next, because you just never know and this is a perfect example of one of these instances! I noticed last week that my right arm is weakening. Being a "southpaw" that ordinarily wouldn't matter, but since 2011 my right hand/arm has done everything for both hands. So, to lose the ability to use devices of any kind is unacceptable and I'll have to get it checked out.
My overused right arm feels suspiciously like room temperature ground meat to my left hand. Has this ever happened to you? If it sounds familiar at all let me know! That's ground meat, any kind, through the plastic! Yucky! The arm looks fine. Just like the other one. New muscles and definition. But except for a sickening, bone-deep pain in my bicep, I can't feel anything!
And, before anyone asks my one question, the only one that matters, I'll answer it. No, it's not cancer, but I still care!
See what I mean though? One must be vigilant, because you never know what sci-fi disaster is headed your way!
I mean what's next? Flying spiders from outer space? Giant? Because everything in outer space is? Giant "Space Spiders"? Eeeewwww!
It could happen!
So, what's a little zombie arm? In the words of Hank Hill, " I'll tell you what!" My right hand performs all the fine motor skills that were performed by the right and left hands including typing! Without my right arm, I'm virtually incommunicado! So a "dead" right arm would be very bad, indeed. I made an appointment to see yet another neurologist who will probably poke my arm and hopefully not say, "I dunno." Or, "beats me" Or even worse, "You mind if I ask someone?"
I'll say one thing about this journey, it's not dull!
