It occurred to me how fortunate I am that none of this illness has affected my cognitive skills. I had to practice standing for extended periods of time during OT today and was given some cognitive games to stay occupied while I stood in front of the table. My occupational therapist was impressed with how easily I completed them.
Later, during lunch, I observed some of the people in the brain injury program in the dining room. Some of them had trouble speaking; some had trouble with motor skills; and some had lost intelligence. Given the two evils, I'd much rather have the physical problem.
Now, if I could only pinch those clothespegs enough to get them onto the bars.

Look at it another way... That's just one more puzzle for you to figure out - how else can I pinch the ends of the clothspeg to get it to open enough to put on the line?
When you want your independence enough, it all comes down to logic games. And I know that you want it enough, and also that you are good at logic games. Shouldn't be a problem.
