Fingerprinting again - spasticity is fun
I'm starting a new contract Jan. 3 with the State of Arizona, Department of Motor Vehicles. Fingerprinting required again. Normally the person doing the fingerprinting is supposed to individually roll your finger on the ink pad and then roll them again on the card. I just told the guy I would have to do it all myself. The one time someone else tried to do it for me they didn't have enough strength to keep the finger straight and then were worried about breaking my fingers. The biggest problem is the four fingers in a group. I can't get all four fingers straight at the same time to get ink on and then I smear it all over the place trying to get the fingers on the card. After all that I have ink all over both hands, Washing the bad hand works pretty well, washing the good hand is extremely difficult, requires scrubbing which is impossible. This obviously is not an ADL since I never had any therapy on how to wash my hands, or dry them post-stroke. I would take a picture of the ink residue on my good hand but since there is no way to take a picture with my left hand that just won't occur.
