i wuz born with no right hand so i guess u could say i am very left handed. 2 years ago i had to have a thorocotomy which occured on my left side. i am still having severe pain in my back, side, and i have a hard time breathing, mainley in the heat or sometimes just from the restroom and back. it is very hard to deal with this pain because i only have my left hand to use. i have children and am very independant but i find myself very limited in normal activities yet i am not able at times to rest my left hand and side because it is the only one i have. this is becoming very stressfull. i have always overcame any obstacle when it came to me having one hand, i really need help from someone to overcome this time. im not sure if theres something in the book on this one,but, any advice is greatley appreciated.
