Update - photos

Now Sunday, 2013 Nov 17th.

I going to put some photos up from the week of the accident and today, so you can see the difference :).
And the x-ray taken hours after the accident.

First, a couple of stories.

The door:
I had a meeting with my manager at work two weeks ago, it was in the boardroom, it has a big heavy door, and I brought in a cup of tea. when the meeting was finished, I was nearest the door, picked up the cup with my right hand, it was still a third full, too much to hold with my left hand. I stood in front of the door... I needed my right hand to open it,... my left hand was able to hold the cup, or open the door. I was trapped! Of course my manager was still there - Anna to the rescue!

Toothpaste:
I'm now able to hold a toothbrush in my left hand (can't brush my teeth left handed yet.) When putting toothpaste on the toothbrush I used to hold the toothbrush in right-hand and squeeze toothpaste with left hand. It is natural to pick up the toothbrush with right-hand as that is the one I start brushing with. I still keep grabbing the toothbrush with my right hand, but then have to swap hands to squeeze the toothpaste with my right-hand. At least I don't have to hold the toothbrush between my teeth anymore like a had to a couple of weeks ago.

Now the photos.
