Get a folding bag/trolley with wheels to move things around so you don't have to try to carry them - I have one and it's really helpful.  You could also just get a long handled sling type woven bag to throw across your shoulder to carry things around the house and still have your free hand - I always have things to carry to the car, to the other room - need one hand free for door knobs, keys, light switches - or something sort of like a messenger bag, but without the big flap getting in the way.

And here's one of my most favorite handy/helper items around the house:

Original Message So, I was herding some squabbling cats apart, slipped on my hardwood floor and landed hard enough to break my arm a couple of days ago. Fortunately, it is not my dominant arm.

I have found tons of sites talking about the care of the cast, care of the break, itch and pain management- but few tips on doing day to day things.

I'm sure over tiime I will adapt to it but I thought perhaps some of you would have things you figured out during a similar injury that you might share.

Thank you in advance!
