My Unexpected Journey

This past weekend I got to go bowling! Turns out they have a metal slide that little kids and handicapped folks can use! You may have already known that but I didn't until a friend told me.

I no longer need to use the device wrapped around my hand. Instead, I wrap the drawing utensil around my fingers. But don't let that confuse you with the fact that I have regained the ability in my hands. I haven't. My disabilities in my hand are still the same but I just have learned how to work around them. These pictures are in consecutive order from first time I picked up a marker to present day. Also, there are pictures on how I hold the utensil. Below: my first drawing post injury  Bel...
