Take my right hand, for instance... Yup, that's the hand that's all bundled up.
X-ray of the offending dislocation and fracture of the radius - that's the fatter of the long bones.
Titanium plate screwed in place to right the shape of the hand.
What a right-handed person like me needs with my right hand:
1. Sign hospitalisation papers.
2. Sign credit card receipts.
What I need two hands for:
1. Wearing a bra!
2. Screwing/unscrewing tight bottle caps.
3. Putting toothpaste on toothbrush.
4. Tying shoelaces.
5. Tying hair up.
6. Carrying a backpack properly.
7. Squeezing out tubes of other stuff like shampoo onto hand.
8. Cutting food.
9. Scooping up last bits of food with a spoon.
10. Selecting multiple files on computer.
11. Tearing tablets out of their package.
12. Driving a car.
13. Riding a bicycle.
14. Doing Su's Body Pump class on Sundays.
15. Holding a book open without bending its spine!

Think you should hold off on the body pump classes, unless you can carry the bar with just one hand.
Today we found out that you can't clap with one hand.
Only heard about your little mishap from Rahita. Aiya, don't want to work during the holiday season say so lah!! Anyway, praying for your speedy and full recovery. And Hweeb - you know you'd have to carry all the luggage right?
Yes you can clap with one hand, just smack your left hand against anything - your arm, your thigh, your head. ta dah - a clap
