How to use the Stick with one hand

[Toby]

Yesterday it appears I have broken scaphoid bone - it is very small, the letter "A" in this link

I can pick up light things and not too painful, just can't squeeze - even the soft liquid bottles or button on e-cig!
I tell you, it's the oddest thing - you command your hand to grip and it just doesn't!

So here are my instructions on how to use Stick with (pretty much) just one hand -
Teeth pull out tip from Stick - hold Stick with bad hand - squeeze drops with left hand in stick - insert tip back with teeth - use with left hand - Enjoy!

I was enjoying my Dura as the X-ray girl was setting up ...lol... I tell you - hospitals and e-cigs are just made for each other!

You see, we are never through coming up with new inventions, now some mod somewhere will be working on bottle that is easily adapted to be sqeezed by teeth....lol

Dare I say it.... Toby, would you like a hand?

Sorry to hear this, Toby - get well soon!

Glad to hear that you can use the Stick one-handed - "adapt and survive", eh?

 

[Toby]

Definitely Mr Pipeman!

And it's amazing how quick you do!

Even using the splint as a tool for some things...

Thanks,
Toby

One has to ask how did you break it!?

 

[tribalmasters]

eh never mind the answer was one thread down from this one hehe!

 

[CatVTTV]

Well we know what he is telling us....hahahaha but what really happened...personally I think he was trying to get his atomiser out of his JantyStick !

Good Job he has a sense of humour...lol

 

[Toby]

Sorry to hear that Toby, hope it gets better soon! I guess changing batteries and attys on the stick is out of the question for a while

 

[chief druid]

hahaha he's going to have more trouble wiping his bottom lol waaaaa

 

[Toby]

LOL ...lol.. Druid - lucky the giraffe don't have to!

And GadgeMon - That's the beauty of the Stick!

 

[chief druid]

well your going to have even more trouble ..... no i'm not going to say it lol

Sorry to hear about the break! The single most helpful thing my husband said to me after our wreck was that I would find ways to do anything I really wanted to do. I can now carry a plate of food and a glass of milk while using my crutches. It's amazing what you can do when you have no other choice! Congrats on figuring out a way to make this work for you.

(((Toby))) commiserations. We thought we had a broken scaphoid in this house, that's what King's College Hospital told my brother he had - but now they've done a carpal tunnel op on him. (Even so, as posted elsewhere earlier, he was able to screw in my atomiser for me, it's his left hand that had the op and he's right-handed )

ECF's spell-checker insists I've spelt scaphoid wrongly. I wonder if the Americans spell it with a K, or maybe even an F

[chief druid]

""The scaphoid is the largest bone of the proximal "

You are correct in your spelling per Wikipedia and per my medical spell check, US based.
