4th or 5th grade is when the ot began teaching me to type for at that time i was just too uncoordinated,plus I was a natural lefty, but they made m write with my right hand because I wrote backwards otherwise. so when my thumb began no onger was able to hold the pen in the strange way i'd held it in m right hand all these years, I begn writing with my left hand for yrs ago, nd lo and behold, my left hand hold a pen very naturally, very normally withno forced anything!
Kat, how's it going? Hugs my dear... we have all been there and it really hurts.

not only is my handwriting unreadable, but it hurts my
hands to do it. there just may be pain involved here.
i learned to use an electric typewriter in the 4th
grade.
but, there may even be problems with keyboarding
unless one knows the limits and abides within the
limits.
