I’m right handed. For everything I do, I do it right handed. My left arm is pretty much left out in the dust other than to help me drink my coffee in the morning when I’m working at my computer. When I’m away from the computer, my right hand takes over the left’s functions once more to continue the duty of cup holding.
As I stated previously, I pulled or did something to my left arm (the shoulder actually… and now the wrist… >:-( ) which has caused me horrible annoying pain and the inability to lift up my arm without shifting my body a certain way and practically tossing my left arm in the direction it needs to go (it’s a little humorous to watch although I try to conceal this ouch from others… but I do catch myself in a reflection now and then). I toss it up, catch it with my right hand in the position I need it to be in- it stays and then I do whatever I’m needing this appendage to assist with.
My hair is the greatest victim of this tragedy as I can’t raise my arm- so basically I’m sporting a head band and my hair is styled in all places but the top of my head. I haven’t mastered styling with only my right arm other to move the hair around a little.
Another victim of this is my fashion sense. I’m wearing a strapless bra with an easy to wear shirt, jeans and sandals. I can’t get too complicated with buttons or fasteners.
This got me thinking of the millions of people who deal with this on a daily basis.
It got me thinking further- What if THIS is the rest of my life? I mean it’s not the end of the world or anything, but what if I’m officially an old lady and now I’m going to have to be one armed for the remainder of my existence? Should I start buying special clothing, get my car redesigned to make turning corners easier? Will I qualify for a helper monkey? How am I going to continue to lift Jonathon?! I CAN’T MANAGE THAT HUGE TV’S REMOTE WITH ONE HAND!!!
My video game playing is going suck… How am I going to change a light bulb in a ceiling light? What if I need to turn off a giant water valve? What if I get to travel and have to place something in the overhead compartment!?!?! My bag will fall into an aisle and cause the plane to crash! Necklaces… how will I wear necklaces? My hair! I’d have to walk around with only half of my hair curled. I’ll never be able to do the backstroke again 
Granted I never go swimming, but now knowing I can’t just makes it a sad story to live through. Please never ask me to play tennis as that would just hurt my soul. What if I injure my “me hand” from having to over compensate for my left???
I’m too young to have to go through this and too old to adapt.
Please feel free to write the screen play and ask any questions that would assist with the creative process and capturing my essence.
