A few years back when I still had my horse, I noticed that I couldn't brush her very well. Very odd...hard to get right arm up to her back, brush and curry comb would 'fall' out of my hand. Got to the point where I was becoming quite good with my left arm/hand.

Then it started messing up my golf swing. I couldn't control the club after 16 holes or so....then 14 holes....then 12...etc.

Then I couldn't stir a batch of cookies with my right hand...or the frosting...without switching off to the left. Even handwriting...after about ten minutes was almost illegible!

Now those were the things I noticed. The ptosis, the difficulty walking my mile in the morning (suddenly breaks were required!!), the trouble getting out of my chair without the help of my arms, the sheer exhaustion I felt at times....nope, none of that registered!!
