WOW!
Shaking hands (or not haha) used to be an issue for me as my right hand was inmvolved and I worked in a bank where I was constantly shaking client's hands, the used to be a bit fazed when I offered them lefty to shake and sometimes asked questions....sigh...then they would get all upset that I had a paralysed arm. People hate hearing that stuff and you could tell they wished they hadn't asked!
Good on you Court for doing that, and it's great as you say that the pathways are still in place. You'll be on the trapeze before you know it :0)
