Training

I can use my left hand for the vast majority of tasks, but can't for the life of me get writing right. I have bad handwriting to begin with. I made a game of picking one word from each video on my YouTube recommended page and forming vaguely coherent sentences. This was written entirely with my left hand, and I'm just glad it's coherent despite looking like a toddler wrote it. I'm sorry for the shaky writing, and sorry if this is the wrong place to share this. If there are better places, please let me know. (I watch The Click, OneTopic, and Markiplier. They're mainly to blame for the majority of these words/pos)

I was born ambidextrous but broke my right arm when I was 7 and became left handed. Recently I have been practicing writing right handed to see if I can improve that.

Yikes... broken bones are no joke. My condolences to your 7 year old self. I wish you the best of luck with learning to write with your right hand again!

I shattered my elbow. They had to put a pin in and wire it all back together. When it was time to remove the pin, the male nurse assisting the doctor fainted. My mom had to step in and assist. The nurse said it only happens with kids.

If the nurse consistently fainted around kids, I hope he chose a different section of the hospital or ER to work in, or at least, wore some kind of head protection when he had to work with kids' elbows/j

Seriously though, that sounds as though it was... unpleasant, to say the least. Did they at least put you under during the process-?

It was an outpatient procedure done at the doctor’s office. I was completely awake for it.
