Well, my broken arm, this time, is the left so I've just gotten used to one-handed typing. When I broke my right arm, I bought dragon naturally speaking. But, to be frank, I just didn't communicate much it was so bad. But that was 10 years ago. It is probably better now. I do use the dictation function on my Pixel and it works well. So dictation on an Apple product would probably be good too.
Apples built-in dictation is OK, although it has its quirks. Unfortunately not communicating isn't really much of an option for me. I end up cranking out about 3000 words a day between client stuff and my own projects.
It sounds like you've been through quite a trial. I hope things are going better for you.
As someone with a permanently broken arm, I feel your pain, especially as to opening pill bottles. Just when you need them the most... I AM impressed that you put out this Notebook. I'm very sorry for your accident but am happy you were able to find the humor in it. That will help you as you heal.
There is something on Amazon called a dressing stick that helps you put on shirts. You should see if your insurance would cover an appointment with an occupational therapist. She can teach you ways to cope while you are healing. If I can be of any help with tips, please feel free to reach out to me. catherine.mcfarland@gmail.com
Thanks for that advice, Catherine. As soon as I get a sense of how long I'm going to have to have my arm in a sling or if I'll need surgery, I'll definitely check that out.
Just curious, do you use Dictation or do you prefer one hand typing? Or is there another approach that's even better? It's a challenge!
