In search of an hypothesis

Exhibit A

When the older boys were standing around looking cool, I copied them. Their weight was on the right foot.
 
B
Twelve years ago I discovered I had slight arthritis in my right hip.
 
I have driven a car since I was sixteen. I am now past eighty. Most of those cars were stick shift, which is to say I relied on my right foot and leg mostly. (Ref. Dr. Russo.)
 
D
I batted in baseball right handed. I am left handed.
 
E
A few years ago I limped favoring my right hip. I quickly developed a pain below my left ribs. I took a strong pain pill and hip and side pains disappeared after walking again normally, even after the pain reliever dosage wore off.
 
As a senior I practice balancing on one foot and then the other.
 
Question 
With which foot is my balance better?
