You might be surprised what you can learn to do with the left hand. I had surgery on my right wrist and couldn't imagine how I would wash my hair or put make up on let alone cope with all the animals we have but after a bit of practice I managed quite well, it felt quite strange when my right hand was useable again.

I hope things get easier for you.

Hi nessybuns

I am so genuinely sorry to read this my friend and I sincerely hope that your wrist heals quickly for you. If you do not have anyone to help you with basic care needs you may be able to get a temporary care package via your local social services department? I want to sincerely wish you all the best of luck my friend.

All my hopes and dreams for you

Ken
