This falls into one of our requirements in order to recover. I think this was best put in one of the survivor books I read. The survivor was spending 5+ minutes trying to turn off a light switch when her husband walked by and thinking he was helping turned it off for her. She was not happy as it was one of her rehabilitation goals. I try to use the same idea when using the lever faucets at work, I could get it done in 1 second with my right hand but it takes 5-15 seconds with my left hand/arm. I think I will be in the slow lane for years to come.
It also means having to accept that I walk slower without my AFO and cane, but you have to take these small steps to get better.
