I broke my left arm above my elbow nearly 3 years ago in a car accident. I was amazed at how much I depended on that arm. I never realized that I used my left hand to open a twist cap bottle. I couldn't put in my contacts. I couldnt cut my food. I couldn't do anything with my hair.
I also broke my left leg, so I had to use a cane. It's really amazing how dependent we become on our limbs. I didn't really adapt to my short term disability, because I knew that it was just that - short term. So I didn't learn to over come it.
I am so amazed at people that do. They do what they have to do to live their life.
