Whale of a tale

There is a great deal unsaid in this article and probably a great deal of misunderstanding on my part. In my normal movements I don't think I differentiated the left muscular control of my head, face, tongue and sublingual region but used it in a subordinated way to the right. I think there is a large functional component, that may reinforce the hard-wiring, in that I normally see the persona of others as right sided and relate muscularly in that way.

I think I can use the left side now in a poorly differentiated spastic way and if I work hard enough get a sense of the persona of others in their left side.
