One Handed Life

[forestofglory]

So I've been trying not to use my right hand for the last week and a half. Here's a couple notes on that's going.

* I have declared comment amantisty on DW. I hit the mark all read button on my inbox. There where some things there that I really wanted to get to but I just can't right now.

*I've been writing my daily to do lists with my left hand. I think my hand writing has gotten a little bit better.

*R found me a one handed cutting board with some ways to hold what you are cutting! I still can't do much but I've cut up a couple of peaches now.

*Last Friday I had a small fall and put wiegth on my wrist. So dispite all my resting it's been hurting more since then. I might have do an extra week of rest. It's very discouraging

*I can't drive which makes it harder to take the kid places, but a couple of times now R has dropped us off at a park. So I've gotten to do some outings.

Just ignore if you don't want advice, but have you tried dictation instead of typing? There's a built-in dictation in Microsoft Word, for instance.

Damn, that small fall couldn't have had a worse timing. *hugs*

Oof, yuck, good luck! I'm left-handed but it's SO HARD for me to use my right hand to do things.

Oh no. I'm sorry you hurt that wrist even more. *hugs*

This sounds so hard, but you are working so hard to rest it. I am ineffectively thinking healing thoughts at it. If you were in person, I would pour tea for you.

All the sympathy in the world, bb. Alllllllllllllllllll of it.

If needs be, you can get a brace that immobilizes your wrist and hand from most drugstores. I had to use one for several months back when I shredded an elbow tendon.
