Julie with husband Mark and "daughter" LucyHi! I'm Julie. I am 31 years old. I'm married 7 years to a wonderful man, named Mark. We don't have any children, except the kind that barks and has a furry tail, my mutt, Lucy. I was born without a left hand, my stub extends just past my left elbow. I really never heard all the technical terms for it until I started reading the I-CAN Profiles. When I was born there were a couple of problems, I was severely pigeon-toed (I wore cast on my feet to correct that), one hip grew faster that the other (for that I was put into a harness like contraption), and my arm. I have no memory of my hip or feet problems, I just see pictures of myself up 'till I was two, in the casts and harness. Being without a hand, like all other mentors on this page has not stopped me, In fact, I am probably more outgoing, and adventurous than if I had been born "like everyone else". I like to travel, scuba dive, hike, I've tried repelling and rock climbing and I used to sky dive.
Anyway I have been sooooooo excited about finding this network (my husband is probably sick of me talking to him about it...... oh, well!) I was directed to this site from a guest, who shops in the store I manage. I hope I will be able to give some insight into what it's like to be a true dominant Right hander! Thanks for letting me be a part of this great group!
