One handed typing
Mar. 2nd, 2015 10:56 pmLots of things are hard with one arm.
I fell off my bike (yes, again), broke my left arm, and I've been in plaster for a fortnight. There's only a few things I really can't do at all - shoe laces and cuffs seem impossible, and driving and bike riding are off-limits - but everything else gets done. I even found how to butter toast today, although it's cheating a bit because it uses the little strength I can exert with the fingers of my left hand.
But everything takes so long, and my right arm gets tired out, and my left arm gets stiff from disuse, and my neck hurts from the sling. I apologise to people everywhere who only have one arm, but I can't wait to get back to two.
The only upside is I've been taking paracetamol and codeine at night, which makes me sleep really well.
