...sort of.  Last night I was running around and somehow managed to fall and chip the radius of my right arm.  I have to wear a stupid sling for 8 weeks, and to make things worse, I'm not finished with school lol and I have to do a lot of writing. Why couldn't it have been my left arm?  |

jeez, that stinks, what will you do? ya know, that if you practice using your other hand muscles for things that you usually do with the 'right' hand you develop the opposite side of the brain. I heard that doing this can actualy reduce your risk of getting nerological disorders when you get older! So in a way it's good in the long term, but not in the short term!, sorry!

Aww poor Merry!
So who are you getting to clean out the pig cage for you? Can't do it with one hand eh?!
Glad you're still managing to type so we don't lose you! I bet all your schoolwork will take ages though, what a pain!

Awww! That sounds painful lol you nut running around! I expect some pics in my inbox!!! haha I bet you can't use the camera... or draw either! How horrible!
Maybe you can get a scribe for your work (a boy in my class broke both his arms and needs a scribe for the tests and exams!) or type it!
I clean the pig cage one handed all the time! And my friend Naja (I think she emailed you once Mezz) once broke her arm and it didn't heal properly because she kept hitting her brother over the head with it so had to have it re-broken and set again! You have many brothers...hmmm..
Good luck!

I clean the pig cage one handed all the time! I'm trying to get Merry out of her jobs lol. Mind you, I couldn't do mine with one hand without spilling bedding everywhere as I put loads of newspaper underneath and roll it up - it's too big to get in a binbag with just one hand! |

Well, if I go for that method I need too, but if I'm feeling lazy I'll sit there for an hour scooping all the shavings out with one hand!
But getting Merry out of jobs is genious haha

lol I do it one-handed all the time... dustpans are great. I've been having fun making my family do lots of silly little jobs for me though, some of which I could easily do with one hand... "Can you put this DVD in the player?" "Will you chop this tomato for the pigs?" "Open this bottle of ibuprofen for me, would you?" And the funny thing is, they've all been doing it without question! I will send you pictures aL, I will NEVER be so handicapped that I can't use my Nilbert lol. It's kind of interesting typing with just my left hand though, I use my thumb a lot more hehe! |

Teeheehee it's sooo fun! Today I had John stand up a bag of pine shavings and cut a slit in the top. (It was a little wet from all the rain we've been having) I wonder how long it'll be before they realize I can still do these things rotfl. |

Not much with lots of ibuprofen. This morning at church about 50 people asked about it, so annoying lol. And I hadn't even come up with some cheeky answer! |
