was right handed for 20 years, got paralyzed, became left handed.
of course relative to the physical therapy/rehab that was easy -- but it still surprised me how quickly it became fluent. it kind of made me think that it's more just a coin-flip as to which you are, and the conveniences available during critical learning moments early in life.
if my favorite rattle or play-thing was placed on my left versus my right in the crib predominantly would things have turned out different? makes me think that might be the case a bit.

- yencabulator 2y agoJust a thought: rightie parents naturally put the crib along a wall oriented so they can interact with the baby with their right hand, which means most of the world is to the right from the baby's perspective.
