I spent years like this and ended up with numerous injuries. It’s not anything that got better due to anything I did. It comes back all the time. Last summer, I was cooking and sliced open my thumb really deep. The spring before that, I was frying chicken and when I went to remove the pan from the heat, my hands simply gave out and I ended up with several oil burns on my torso. I now have permanent scars from that. Cooking is now a serious hazard for me but there’s no one to help so I wait until my dexterity is at its best.

Most disturbing to me is my loss of fine motor skills when it comes to writing with a pen or playing my guitar. People tell you to do things that are fulfilling and make you feel good but those things are no longer possible for me. My handwriting looks as if I’ve had a stroke and I’m barely strong enough to sign my name.

I have no advice to offer because I’m on a decline myself. I keep losing pieces of myself and adapt to having less meaning in my life. I’m sorry you’re dealing with this. Just stay safe around sharp or hot objects!
