Hi Gene,

I hope you get better soon! Although I've not tried it, there could be speech assistant apps built-in to Windows/Mac that might partially help while you get left-mouse practice. Anyway I hope you recover quickly and in any event enjoy working less during the Xmas break!

Hi Gene,

Sorry that you will be on modified duty for a while. How about those doctors and their medical technology. I am approaching my third year past my expiration date. Doc says that without modern medical technology I would have bought the farm.

In the meantime while you heal you can share any brilliant ideas with the rest of us and we will prototype them for you.

John

Hi Gene,

It sounds like you made a good choice with the doctor you picked and he’s going to get you properly fixed. It’ll be annoying for a while trying to get used to using your wrong hand but it’ll get easier and you’ll be back to using your right hand before you know it. On the plus side, six weeks of learning how to use your left hand will probably leave you with better functionality in that hand so you’ll find fiddly jobs hat need two hands easier in future!

Anyway, I hope everything heals well and your arm is back to 100% when it’s all over.

Best Regards,

Rachael
