What do we expect from our right arm (or our arm of dominance) anyway? I expect strength and control, and I’m finally getting it.
A long time ago I fell into a rocky creek and fractured the bones of my right wrist in many pieces. Almost nine months ago, to be exact. A month ago I went back to my hand specialist, Clark Robinson MD, for corrective surgery. Both of us are delighted with the results.
Today the cast came off, and it’s wonderful having my right arm, wrist, and hand back! All except the brace he wants me to wear for four weeks. “You can take it off three or four times a day,” he said. Yeah.
Housecleaning, lawn mowing, piano playing, and so much more are all on the agenda for late spring and summer for me now that I have my right wrist back.

try having cerebral palsy that renders your right arm useless!
I am glad to have a functioning left arm – but wiping my bum is a problem!
