It took trial and error and a few days but I finally figured out how to cut oranges and apples into quarters with one hand and two steak knives. Scissors action. I can peel clementines with my left hand but not a navel orange. (I eat 2-3 bags of oranges a week.) Apples of course are a hand fruit as George Costanza would say but I like them cut up. So there’s that to be said for learning to use my precious left arm, which I’m protecting like the valuable and irreplaceable appendage it is. I've taken it for granted all these years. I’m so tired of asking for help from my very patient housemates.

I never bothered with oranges until I discovered Clementines and satsumas. Glad you are managing...sort of. It must be very frustrating at times. Getting dressed would be an extreme challenge for me one handed.
I'm glad you're adjusting. I really do sympathize.
