side is still slow and What I have noticed is if I concentrate on moving the affected side it works perfectly, but if I am performing a movement that I don't have to think about, like walking or bringing food to my mouth, the movement of my arms and my legs on the affected and laboured.

I don’t feel anything in my head, but when performing fine motor skills (like handwriting) my whole body tenses up to control the movement. If I try to write any faster than a crawl my hand goes on a wild sribble, so I’ve learned to take my time. It can be very frustrating, especially when I’m in a lineup in a store, or dishing up a plate of food at a potluck. I’ve always been very right handed, but I increasingly make use of my left. My 6 yr old granddaughter observed me at dinner recently and piped up with “Grandpa, you’re slow!”
