Re driving.

I started driving after 6 weeks as I needed to get to work. I have an automatic car. It's amazing that even though you can eat/talk on your phone (not that you are supposed to), driving with one had all the time is very difficult. Things like putting on the indicator and turning the wheel for full lock etc are pretty bad. It took about 3 months before I could have both hands on the wheel in the 2 and 10 positions. Your car insurance could be invalid if you have an accident while driving one handed so be very careful and check into things before you start driving.

And going back to work while still taking pain killers. You will really find out how weak and tired you are. I almost curled up under my desk after lunch every day as I was so tired and sore. I had a clamp on computer wrist holder which I used to support my arm. I also took a pillow and used a chair with arm rests.

Anyway best of healing and be kind to yourself. Also don't be worried about asking people (work collegues etc) for help.
