After copious amounts of TV (two seasons of Lost in four days) I soon got very bored when I broke my shoulder but I had a slight advantage being a sports fan; the World Cup started two weeks in to my convalescence and ran through until a week before I returned to work. Bonza. I tried playing some GameCube when not watching the footie but not only was my arm slung, it was in a fixed rigid box-type contraption that kept it out to the side of my body meaning to play two-handed, if it wasn't too painful, I had to reach my right-arm all the way across and support the controller for the left to just dabble with. Not the usual comfortable central position and quickly got quite tiresome. But alas I'm right handed and I'd done my left arm so I could at least use a mouse once it was comfortable enough to sit in front of one. More recently hasn't been quite so bad on the boredom stakes after breaking my knee as, whilst not terribly mobile, I could comfortably sit around with two free hands. Get well soon dude, I'll send pictures from Whistler. I know exactly how you feel mate.

That kept me amused for a weekend once (ok so I never really used it since then, but still). But it may make a 'one-armed' life easier, it takes me about twenty times longer to type something with one hand then with two!

What a mad hobby. You should have stayed indoors and played games in the first place. Biking for fun? What a mad hobby. You should have stayed indoors and played games in the first place.
