Lopsided

I just realized that I am the guy from "Lady in the Water" who only works out half of his body.
My left arm has somehow become my load-bearing arm. I only realized this after straining my left wrist last week. Because I'm right-handed, I usually hold a pen, clipboard, or scanner gun in my right hand while using my left to carry or move the books around. Hence the strain to my left wrist.
So after two years of using my right arm primarily as a clipboard holder, it has apparently become totally atrophied. I only realized this after I strained my left wrist. Mom kindly lent me her wrist brace which really helps, mostly because it is a blatant reminder not to use my left wrist, but also because it keeps my wrist from twisting.
I headed off to work yesterday determined to baby my wrist so it would have a chance to get better. I was successful and my wrist feels much better today. The only problem is that now I can't raise my right arm above my head without wincing. I unfortunately chose the first day of our Thanksgiving sale to break in my pitiful right arm and am now suffering the consequences. So this Thanksgiving I am thankful for Advil and hot baths.
The moral of the story: Just because your right hand might be more skilled in the dexterity department doesn't mean it should get out of doing its share of the heavy lifting.
