Things it is difficult to do with one hand (one's non-dominant hand) and a mummified painful stump which must not be dampened, while occasionally under the influence of codeine:

put in/remove contacts
zip pants
brush teeth (thankfully, I got myself an electric toothbrush earlier this year)
sign a lease
write a check
clean up spilled olive oil
eat spaghetti while reading a book
clean up the yarn in the living room (this was more emotionally difficult)
list items on ebay
take a photo
put on bra
put hair in ponytail suitable for leaving the house
send text messages from cell phone
use photoshop for anything
wash hair
wash face
sqeeze any kind of product out of a bottle
peel the top off a pudding container

Sigh. Alas, I am coping. But this royally sucks.

did you get one of those crazy plastic oven mit looking contraptions? it has a seal on one end so that it slides over your cast and seals against the skin on your arm. in theory it allows you to take a shower with your cast and not get it wet. it also looks absloutley rediculous ;)

Nope--it's still technically a splint until Friday when I'll beg for any assistive accessories they can give me with the real thing.
