Thanks for sharing your results, experience, reflections here, Concussion

Now, I find I have no time for anything much but reading a few pages here and there of Fantasy fiction, and usually nod off during that for a short few minute uncomfortable 'nap'; trying to focus to etch or draw is just not possible for headaches, and concentration is always a mess for any of it long term.
My results: 53% Left / 47% Right.

Concussion,
How interesting to note that you also, obviously a lifelong creative, right-brained/left-handed, came up with similar results, perhaps as surprising to you as my own were for me.
I actually found myself wondering to answer "per the usual, pre-injury/old me", as it were. I was surprised at my answers, as the post-injury/the 'me' with which I must learn to live and function in the world and in my life, now, as I am.
Thanks again, Concussion.
Best to you.
Sounds like you are taking good care of your brain, and not pushing-it, with even seemingly simple, formerly- enjoyable tasks.
Sincerely,
Theta
