Anyone here ambidextrous? |
|
I had surgery a couple years ago to remove a cyst from under my right armpit.
I'm right handed, and afterwards it was next to impossible to function using only my left hand.
I broke soooooooo many glasses ......... :(

I write with my right hand exclusively, but can do pretty much anything else with either.

I eat with my left hand,write with the right hand,throw with both hands,paint with both hands...I lean twords using my right hand more times but I can use both hands for most things.My lft handed writing tends to tilt a little and it looks different so I don't use my left as much to write.

But then I have trouble walking and scratching my head at the same time. Seriously, several years ago I broke my right arm and was basically helpless. I signed some documents left handed and was told to do it later when they could read them.

a friend who can write perfectly with either hand. She can even write back wards or put the letters upside down without pausing

I write with my right hand but things requiring strength I usually wind up using my left hand, like tools. That side seems to be stronger. :shrug:
And painting. I can paint with either hand. I drive a lot with my left hand.

...but my mum is. It looks like my younger niece will be too. The elder niece is right handed, and my nephew is left handed.
I am just boring old me, and right handed. LOL

I am equally clumsy with both hands, as a wise man once said.
I steal from him.

11. I am... I normally write |
|
with my right hand and eat with my left hand. However, sometimes it just feels right to write with my left hand. There are things I do normally with my right hand and things I normally do with my left hand.

I played the piano seriously for years so I'm significantly ambidextrous. I write right-handed but I can use my left to write if I have to. For everything else it's a crap-shoot whether I'll use the left or right to do it.

Like VelmaD, I started piano lessons at an early age (I was four or five). I'm also a very fast touch-typist, and can push nearly 100 wpm when I'm in the middle of a lot of work and have been typing a lot. I had tennis elbow a few years back in my right elbow, and started moving things around on my desk, like my mouse. Now, I can use a mouse equally well on both sides of the computer.
I can write legibly with my left hand, but it would take a lot of practice for it to be easy.
Hubby's also ambi -- he's left-handed to begin with, though, and most of the lefties I've known (and I've known more than my share, for some strange reason) have been. Probably because they have to be -- the world doesn't exactly conform to their specifications most of the time.

when I pushed my arm through a plate glass window right before freshman year of highschool... (It was an accident). My right hand was encased in plaster for just over 18 months and I couldn't bend my wrist or fingers as the I'd had nerve reattachment surgery.
Now I do everything lefty except write, and I SHOULD write left handed because it's the only way my penmanship is legible.

I can use both of my hands equally well. But I hold my fork with my left hand only.
