WARNING: bit of POTTY HUMOR-if it offends- skip by this one!!!
I am right-handed. But because of a bad case of tendonitis, I am being forced to become a south-paw for about a month. It's not the first time either. In high school, the week of final exams, I broke my right wrist in a skating accident and had to learn to write south-paw in a weekend. My handwriting looks like a burgeoning 2nd graders. Legible- but barely.
I am fairly proficient at typing with one hand.........enough to get by at work anyway. I work as a dispatcher and have about 25 log books to fill out every night, forms to fill out, and a radio communications system to operate. Not a problem until it comes to the triplicate forms.
Work isn't the problem tho. The problems come in the everyday mundane things we don't normally think that much about. Like..........driving.Fortunately I drive an automatic auto.....but even turning the key is a problem. Not to mention putting it in gear and releasing the handbrake.
Also- washing and rinsing the hair in the shower, a two handed job..............
And using the toilet is another big problem........
OH.....laughing are you, now???? Tell you what......next time you go- try using ONLY your OTHER HAND to clean up.....bet it takes you more than one try to get things in order!!!
Try brushing your teeth.....with just the 'other hand'........just trying to get the toothpaste on the toothbrush is a job and a half.......so is screwing the cap off ANYTHING-ANYWHERE.
Everything is geared towards either right-handed persons or persons with two good hands. Granted, most people HAVE two hands- but not every one is right-handed.......
sigh........ I can't wait to be NORMAL again.
In a month...............
or so...................
:-P

That's no fun!
It would be handy to be ambidextrious wouldn't it? But to simply not be able to use your main hand, that's a whole other set of problems. I imagine that also requires allowing for some extra time in the morning. Good luck!
