Things that are easier with two hands.
Here's a list of things un-slinged people take for granted:
-typing (currently 'pecking' with my right hand)
-eating on the couch (note: measuring cups work well, the handle is easy to hold onto and limits food intake or maybe it doesn't)
-opening jars of peanut butter (warning: this may cause reason for emotion breakdown)
-dressing myself (includes buttoning pants)
-texting
-washing dishes
-sleeping (trust me, when you can't lay on your side or move due to a sling, its hard)
-erasing my mistakes on a statistics test
-folding clothes/blankets
-icing cakes (I haven't actually tried to ice a cake but I can assume)
-washing hair and shaving
-tying shoes
5 more weeks of my one-armed lifestyle
Note the massive black contraption that is called the 'ultra slinger' that adorns the left side of my body, it comes with a velcro cell phone pouch and an exercise ball.

i hate that when i only have one hand and can't ice cakes...wait...
you only have one arm!!! what????
But just think, when you have two arms again everything will seem so much easier. You'll basically become a super woman.
