I thought this kinda amusing afterwards although rather frustrating while it was happening.
I go to pt today and the woman has this little "test" setup for me. It's a small saucer bowl full of 1/8" diameter pins about 1" long with little square keys out one side so they can only fit in a hole one way. There's a pile of them in there and this huge grid of holes with the keys all lined up in different ways.
So i say oh i'm gonna ace this...til I tried to pick one up and realized I didnt have the dexterity or the feeling in my finger to do it. It took me 4 tries and about 10 seconds to pickup the first one and about an extra 4-5 seconds to get it in the hole. She gave up timing me after the 3rd one...I did them all just to prove i could do it, then says ok now do it with your left hand. I tried just as hard with the left hand and did them ALL in 21 seconds.
I flunked pt
