I shall be out of action for a while. So you can relax, and don't worry about me doing better than you in the challenges. 
I am now sporting a plaster cast, having chipped a bone in my left wrist. I am left handed.

Thank you all for your concerns. I have been back to the hospital today. The cast has to stay on for four weeks. Apparently, I am not insured to drive my car now. Anybody fancy doing a bit of dog walking.
I can just about type right handed Bailey. But as for Elements - no way -the cursor is jumping around all over the place.  |

Apparently, I am not insured to drive my car now. Ugh! That is not good. Hope you heal fast and well. Just BTW, I am right handed and 15 years ago was having difficulties with my right wrist. (Back then, my consulting work required endless hours of computer work and writing.) My doc told me to try using my left hand to mouse. " HA HA" methinks as I can't hold a coffee mug in my left hand. However, I was amazed that it was easy and intuitive and to this day I still left mouse. It allows me to jot down notes with my right hand while moving the cursor about. But I have two hands and you have one. Good luck Margaret. Clive |

At the moment, I keep catching the right click as well as the left. My husband had a serious operation on his right wrist. Eventually, his writing was the same with his left hand. But, he always was a terrible hand writer anyway. |

Aw yes! The old broken wrist trick!!! My wife broke her right wrist about a year and a half ago, and she thinks she might be able to resume cooking, vacuuming & other household duties in about another 6 - 9 months!!! The amazing part is the wrist hasn't affected her golf game in the past year???

Yes. Exercise in the fresh air is highly recommended.

Wippet, I am sorry to hear about your injury. I wish you a speedy recovery. I have no doubt you will keep busy, on top of exercising your week hand and taking fresh air. Take care!
