Mokokoma MokhonoanaA seemingly simple task like taking a bath or wearing a condom feels like multitasking to someone who suffers from hemiplegia or has only one hand.
About This Quote
Hemiplegia is a condition that causes a person to lose control of one of their limbs. In order for someone with hemiplegia to accomplish a seemingly simple task, it takes them forever just to do one simple task. That’s because those tasks require so much more from those who have hemiplegia. They also have a hard time doing things that require two hands, like tying shoes or brushing their teeth. As a result, people with hemiplegia have a hard time doing things they used to do easily, like hiking or going to the beach.
