You want to know what's inconvenient?

Not being open to open anything that twists off. Your body and mouth come in handy.
Not being able to carry much. One hand, one arm.
Putting your pants on. Taking your pants off.
Putting a bra on, elastic is not a one-arm friend.
Fitting shirts over a big ass splint. They don't fit.
Cutting your food. You need two hands to cut shit.
Opening doors, shutting doors, with things in your one, capable hand.
Typing with one hand.
Sleeping with a pillow literally on your chest (half suffocating you) with your messed up arm and ice pack melting.
Not functioning awake on pain killers.
Not being able to do all the things in enjoy like snowboarding, volleyball, kickboxing, yoga, running, lifting, oh and picking up my nieces and nephew.
Not being able to wear a jacket in the winter.
Not being able to do my hair much less put it in a ponytail.
Not being able to sleep because your broken none causes pain.
Wearing a trash bag when you shower.
Not being able to safely drive.
Not being able to do much for extended periods of time because your wrist makes you cry.
Blowing your nose.
Holding a big pan.
Opening envelopes.
Typing on your phone without resting it on something.
Putting socks on.
Hugging people.
Putting jewelry on.
Putting soap or lotion on your operating arm.
