the left-hand update, ten days post surgery
The left hand is out of the big sloppy heavy clunky cast, that’s the good thing. What is not making me too happy though, is the slim, lightweight tight cradle that the tech molded for me–keeping my wrist at a certain angle, my four fingers bent about sixty degrees. It’s got velcro straps holding it in place– it has my fingers in a real bind. And it stays on for five weeks. ARRRGH! Claustrophobia!!!
I get to unwrap them once an hour to bend each finger separately, joint by joint. I must use my other hand to do this, and not stress the muscles or tendons on my entire left hand. I have freedom of thumb, though– I am allowed to hold a sheet of paper. Double fuckityfuck.
I was looking at my leather stash, thinking I could make a cover for it, in black latigo with studs, or maybe fringed buckskin with beads
.
BUT I’D NEED TWO HANDS TO DO IT!

Or a slave/monk/minion sorta person to hold things for you.
All my minions are spoiled rotten, anyways.
I have a ton of custom orders to do. I can’t work on my lathe, and asking teens to finish wooden dildoes for Mom– so not good.
Too much giggling, minions, back to work!!
*kidding*

Sympathy! Having just done something horrid to my left wrist which is making typing more of a challenge, I have some small understanding of what it’s like. FIVE WEEKS OMG!
On the upside, lots of reading time

Can you just paint it black with silver dots?
One of squirrelmonkey’s friends managed to break *both* wrists just before the summer hols. To him, not being able to write or type was the one good thing about it – but wasted because there’s no school!
Must be so frustrating for you, but do whatever you need to to get it healed up properly.
