Things That Suck After a Stroke: Shaking a Drink

Last blog: typos-and-design I talked about mistakes I make after having a stroke.  Today I had a interview for a start up in midtown so I was dressed up.  Every time I go for a in person interview I stopped by a Starbucks to have a coffee and study before the interview starts.  When I was done, I wanted to get rid of the coffee.  I always carry a travel size bottle of mouthwash because I had coffee breath. I had a coffee in my right hand and a bottle of mouth in my left hand.  I went to throw the coffee and shake the bottle of mouthwash but I did the opposite. I knew it but I couldn't stop my body.  It was like a out if body experience, everything was in slow motion. I dumped out my mouthwash in the trash and I shaked my coffee splashing coffee all over my shirt.  So I was filthy and I have coffee breath. FML

I do this all the time.  Another example is when I peel a banana,  I go to throw out the peel but I throw the banana instead.  The part the bothers me is that I know what I am doing but I can't stop it. I do other thinks like touch hot skillets.  I think that skillet is hot I shouldn't touch that, 3 seconds later I burn my hand.  Doctors don't know why so for now I am cursed.
