Comment Been there, done that, switched hands for healing (Score 1) 131
I didn't have burns, I have recurring bouts of tendonitis which makes it impossible to work a mouse or grasp a stylus.
So I switched hands. The first few days really pissed me off! I was so slow! But it got better fairly rapidly, and now I tend to switch off a few times a week to give the dominant hand a rest and keep the other hand in practice.
The non-dominant hand will never be as fast as the dominant hand, but if I have a choice between nothing and 70-80%
Having to learn new equipment and/or software as well as new dexterity would have been much harder. Switching hands left the domain knowledge usable, and all I had to do was train some muscles.
