Just a word of advice from an old man who played American football, wrestling, martial arts, and crashed my motorcycle and had my share of fighting as a young New Yorker… my advice is always work on strength and motion for that wrist… ( to mitigate arthritis later in life)… also don’t be afraid of skating again or any other fun activity…. I became “religious” later on in life… I survived 5 heart attacks and an emergency triple bypass…. (I never smoked cigarettes) I see life so differently now….

What a trooper! You have such a great positive outlook. I love it. You will heal quickly and be right back in the groove. I like your German ingenuity in coming up with clever ways to do things with one hand. Perhaps you can use the time to brainstorm about future topics and ideas for your channel and record it instead of writing a list. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

GGiA: Every cloud has a silver lining. This is a wonderful opportunity to improve your ability to do fine work with your left hand. I had a hand injury last year, and started to use the mouse with my left hand. It’s very hard at first, and you will feel like a 3 year old, but keep at it. After a few weeks you will be as good with your left hand as you used to be with your right. And that will help a lot in the future for some things like playing a musical instrument etc. It’s great opportunity to become at least partly ambidextrous!

I broke my right wrist in the same fashion about 9 years ago. I tripped over something in my shed while stepping backwards and put my hand out to catch myself and SNAP, there it went.

Glad you're doing fine! Happy thoughts, Feli!

Best wishes, and hope all goes well for you. Have a speedy recovery.

I broke my radius and ulna on my dominant hand about 16 months ago. I was doing things again but with tolerable pain around 16 weeks after i broke it. It still aches sometimes. It takes a long time to fully recover. I asked my surgeon on a scale of 1 to 10 how bad and he said it was a 9 because my radius was in like 4 pieces. Had a few short arm casts and k wires through my skin as part of the experience. Hang in there girlie.

Two suggestions. Use this time to learn how to use a mouse left handed, then when you get well switch off right to left handed throughout the day so your hand/wrist doesn’t get tired. I do CAD work and this is very helpful. Also get two different sized “mice”. Maybe, using a small travel size mouse will be helpful in you learning to use your left hand. Remap the buttons left to right so you are using your left index finger. Second use your computer’s speech to text functions. The Mac does this well.

Using the house left handed is fairly easy for me. I've done it when I've had repetitive stress injury problems. Never tried writing left handed, that seems much more difficult. But I hardly ever have to write these days, so no biggie. It's other things that would be nearly impossible to do left handed, like bathroom habits. I won't get into those, but even shaving seems like it would be rather difficult left handed.

@@FelifromGermany Broken wrists are the most common injury when skating because when you fall backwards, your natural inclination is to try and catch yourself with your hands. You can change the settings in your computer to make your mouse left handed (reverses the buttons so you can use the same fingers on your left hand for click and alt click.)

Gute Besserung!!!

Looking forward to you coming back healthy. Good luck

Gute Besserung..wenn die Schrauben in Deinen Gelenk sitzen, kannst Du mit gutem Gewissen sagen i'm screwed😂 Ich freu mich auf dein nächstes Video!

I broke my left wrist back in 2004, and I'm left-handed. Showering was the biggest pain, though, as you can't get the cast wet. I had to wrap/duct tape it in a plastic bag every single time... one-handed. Ugh. --- How'd I break it? Slipping on a patch of ice while walking up a hill to go to work at Osan Air Base, South Korea. In the middle of a combat exercise and wearing full MOPP gear, flak vest, and helmet. Needless to say, throwing your hands out to break the fall with an additional 30-odd pounds of weight equals broken wrist.

Glad to see you're in good spirits. Hope all continues to go well! Sending you all the positive vibes and hope the surgery and therapy goes well! You got this!

You could also try a trackball. They're not very common, but your wrist and arm hardly needs to move at all. You could also try to find a stylus that works with your touchpad. Amazon has some good ones that use a metal fabric, not the rubber tip common with ones you find in stores. Much smoother glide on a touchpad.

Michael Holub I always use a trackball mouse because I like to use my laptop in bed and the trackpad has burned/irritated my finger tips. The trackball is great because you don’t need a mousepad or any surface to put it on because you don’t move your arm at all (just your thumb to move the ball). So I just have my hand with the mouse on my chest and it works great.

I hope you have a quick recovery!

Best wishes to you. Get better soon.

Don't know about about the bias, but the Romans used "dexter" for "right handed", and "sinister" for "left handed" They used it as neutral words, because their aim was that every soldier had to use his sword as best as he could
