Welcome to this blog, which receives no comments out here in the darkest, coldest, loneliest reaches of cyberspace.
The hand has improved. It does not hurt anymore, I'm out of the sling. and I can even use my thumb and forefinger on that hand. I got a new job at a restaurant, where I even waited tables last night. Basically figured out how to do every task there with limited hand use. The customers, as you might expect, have no end of stupid and even rude shit to say or ask about my arm. But most just ignore it. A table of college girls demanded to know how I broke my hand, so I simply said that I broke it in Mexico. Seems pretty adventurous.
One asshole asked why my cast was so ragged and messed up. If I had not been on the job I would have said something like, "None of your business, jackass." I simply did not reply. Then he explains, "I'm a hand doctor - that's why I ask."
The challenging part of waiting tables with one good hand is writing the orders down left-handed.
I believe I'm officially ambidextrous (both hands dominant). It is such an empowering feeling to perform some intricate task with the left hand. Try it - it's done wonders for me.

Gosh Totally agree with you regarding comments on blogs. I guess to get comments we have to post responses on other blogs.. and that i know isnt the most intersting part of blogging.
BTW: out of curiosity read your initial 4-5 posts and first thing that striked me was.. "So he typed all these blogs with one hand and that too left...kudoss" :)
Can i add you to my blog role ? :)
