I'm still trying to accept the loss of fine motor skills. It's difficult for me to ask for help.........you can imagine the growing frustration level having been self-sufficient for some 40+ years.

You don't fully appreciate how important they are til you lose your fine motor skills. All I can do now is get through the day. Can't really "do' anything to replace what I have lost. There are no self help books that tell you what to do when you can't do anything. Just one hand would be great and no I can't learn to use my feet as they are knotted up. Can't talk either and that is a downer.
