Check For My Keys

Hope You are well today. Here's a story of mine that shows what ridiculous stuff happens even years after a traumatic brain injury.

If you recall from previous posts, I was blessed with partial recovery from nerve damage, worked hard in rehab and then entereed colleg and and graduated as an engineer, flew through a yr of grad scool and have had a successful career just n a limited basis depending alot on hours and processing information fast.
So I leave my house and place my keys in my left hand (the weak one from hemiparisis) and lower my left hand while I reach for the door with my right hand , I close the door when I say to myself, wait, i dont know where the keys are... I start looking in my coat pocket (on the right side, the only pockets I use...) and no keys. I feel myself panicking kind of because I just shut the door! - you know that feeling that you get where, uh oh, I'm locked out of my house , no spatre keys outside (it was locked in my car) and I wont be able to go through any windows. I start to my right pocket and start reaching all the way down . now I'm really in worried panicky mode. Then as I am about to give up , I see the keys in my left hand!
Theres some feeling there but the brain just did not register , you know?
