Years ago, I took an American Sign Language course, since I had a family from the hearing impaired community in my Church. I'm relearning ASL now simply to keep my brain busy and try to sift through the fog. I hate absolutely hate what CRPS has done to my brain functions. I used to be able to mentally multitask on three projects efficiently at once. Now, I can't even open a paper bag. LOLOL

Keeping up with ASL is brilliant!
I do a few things to create new connections in my brain, brush my hair and teeth with my non-dominant hand, but so far nothing helps when I try to get a word out. Sometimes I get three words stuck together at a time in a word sandwich.
It is hard to go from being high functioning to "crap that's too much trouble, I cannot be bothered." At one point I didn't bathe for two weeks-just tidied myself up a bit with baby wipes.
I so get the excitement of going out! I just got back from assessing a public pool for walking and going to a Greek food store to pick up a meal. Wow, it was wonderful to be out. Now I am going out all by myself to buy a card for my friend. Mundane is marvelous when you have been deprived of it.
I hope your lunch is great.
