So sorry Cody! I'm always afraid of slipping on the ice too! May I recommend YakTrax to you? I'm just about to get a set myself --- they're like chains --- and easy to attach to any shoe, and I've heard they're really effective.
Interesting. I do a lot of walking in the winter (and slipping, I guess.) so these would be nice to use.
Prisoner, sorry to hear what's happened. As I was just recently forced to use my computers only with one working hand with trackball and on-screen display, mostly lying in bed, I believe I can give you a nice tip.
I got this, and it really made a big difference:

That is really interesting... I'd get that even if I didn't have this injury. It looks neat.
This thread is crawling with innuendo. xD
Eh, being ambidextrous helps, but doors will not be fun... but I guess I have legs for a reason.
Things appear to have gotten a little worse. Today I went back in to see how the bone was setting. It didn't exactly set... it went from about 50% off to a full 100% off. So I have to go into surgery tomorrow and get a plate or sorts put in to keep it aligned, or something along those lines.
The "fun" thing is that I learned that the break is close to a major nerve that controls my hand functions. So all I can do is pray that this surgeon knows what he's doing. But I think he does.
Prisoner, before you go rushing into surgery, don't you think you should see a 2nd surgeon for at least a 'second opinion'??? I know that I wouldn't go into surgery without a second opinion --- especially since you've been told the break is close to a major nerve --- and especially since you seem a little unsure about the surgeon. Best of luck to you!
Well, I'm only 15. I wouldn't be able to contact a second one.
My parents are calling the shots here, and it seems like they're okay with it.
And thanks for the luck.
