Pay no attention to the one-armed bandit

The ligament in my left wrist is still torn (from being mugged at the end of September, and then exacerbated by me twisting caps on tubes at work a few weeks ago); this means that I’ve got a fairly heavy brace on my wrist/hand. And that I can’t really use my left arm/hand effectively. I can’t wash dishes, or really clean my apartment. Typing much on the computer just hurts (thus the purchase of MacSpeech Dictate recently). I’m a VERY independent person, so this almost two months of limited use of one of my limbs is very frustrating. My boyfriend has been wonderful about doing what he can in terms of housework, like dishes and cleaning the cats’ litterbox, so I don’t screw up my wrist again. However, I’m so used to being able to do cleaning around the house myself, and keeping our apartment clean myself, and I haven’t been able to.

Nothing I can do about it, just need to give my wrist time to heal. I managed to tear my ligament even worse when I messed it up at work, so I need to just keep it in a brace and give it time to heal, and occasionally use my heating pad on it. I’m not the most patient person, especially when it comes to myself. I guess for now I just have to live with being useless around the house for at least a few more weeks. Doesn’t mean I’m happy about it!
