I agree, Kelly. It does wear you out to constantly be looking out for obstacles and coordinating your body to do what it is supposed to do. It completely adds to the fatigue and is one of the reasons many of us fatigue so easily. It takes more brain work and effort to accomplish what others do normally. We have to think more about it.

I always mention to those that don't fully understand that I am severely impaired with my right hand (my dominant hand). I still do normal things, but my brain has rewired/repaired things and it takes a lot more brain work for me to accomplish things. Someone looking at me or seeing me do things would never know that I am something like 97% impaired in that hand. Whoops, unless they are watching me do something that requires fine motor skills like picking things up or writing or putting on mascara (which that wand hurts when it hits your eyeball and can make a mess out of your eyelid. haha).
