Inktober Day 15: Weak

Definitely some odd topics on #Inktober, but then they can inspire all sorts of ideas in people. This made me think about my right hand. A few years back I noticed some issues with it and a specialist diagnosed an issue with the nerves that means the muscles have wasted somewhat. This doesn't hamper me much in general life, but it does make it a little harder to hold a guitar pick.

I resorted to the old trick of drawing around my hand. That doesn't quite get the shape right, but it's not too bad. I then added the rest of the detail using my left hand so I could be looking at the right. I may need to learn to use my left hand more if this gets worse. I'm seeing the specialist again soon, so we shall see what he says. We tried some treatment before, but it didn't make much difference.

Weak

You can see that this hand is a little thin. The muscle over the thumb is pretty much gone. I know others suffer much worse ailments, so I don't feel too sorry for myself. Yes, I did have a chocolate bar just now.
