How to cope with a broken hand?

[BigYellowHat]

I’ve broken my dominant hand. My job is office based (WFH) I just don’t know how I’m going to cope for the next 6 weeks plus I’ve only got 14 months of my fixed term contract so need to make a good impression. Any tips?

Hoping someone can lend a hand…

Can you voice type? Explain to your employers and hopefully they'll make some alterations or adaptations so you can work more slowly using your left hand.

I don't have any advice even though I broke my own hand at the very end of the summer holidays. I hadn't realised it was broken so tried to carry on despite the pain and ended up only needing the plaster on for a week and half.

I have one working hand permanently, and its much easier for me to type on a small format keyboard (either on my laptop or a compact external) than a full size one. You can turn on sticky keys in Windows accessibility so you can do caps by pressing shift then the letter rather than simultaneously which is really helpful

Thank you for the suggestions 👏✊
