Hi Susan,
Thank you for all your support here at MSW! I have lost a lot of dexterity in my left hand and fingers. I carry my cane in my right hand (right hand is much stronger & I am right handed). I have found it difficult to carry anything in my left hand. (just about anything that has weight to it....coffee mug, drinking glasses, plates, etc - you name it!) I use a rollator when I'm outside the home, and this helps in transporting large heavy items.
Most times I have asked for help in carrying things when someone is around to help me. Problem is there are many times when no one is around! If the item has a strap or some sort of carrying device, I'll sling it over my shoulder or forearm.
Can you or anyone suggest how I can navigate through this and give me suggestions?
Thanks!
