hmmm - keep a log of all the things you can do with one hand? Don't let people help you unless you really need it, but give it a shot and see if you can figure out a way of doing it yourself?

There's nothing wrong with dependent on other people for a short while, but it's a lot more fun and keeps your mind busy figuring out how to do things in a different way.

And don't forget that the rest of your body works fine, and a bout of endorphins is good for what ails you - go out there and walk, or go spinning, or whatever!

This helped me through some weeks with a cast anyway.
