ABOUT ME: Hallo, Servus, and welcome to my channel! My name is Felicia (Feli), I'm 26, and I'm a German living in the USA! I was born and raised in Munich, Germany but have been living in Cincinnati, Ohio off and on since 2016. I first came here for an exchange semester during my undergrad at LMU Munich, then I returned for an internship, and then I got my master's degree in Cincinnati. I was lucky enough to win the Green Card lottery and have been a permanent resident since 2019! In my videos, I talk about cultural differences between America and Germany, things I like and dislike about living here, and other experiences that I have made during my time in the States. Let me know what YOU would like to hear about in the comments below. DANKE :)

This is such a heartfelt message from you Your injury reminds me of my torn Achilles tendon injury when I was a graduate student back in the day. After my surgery, it took me a year to fully recover.

I became “religious” later on in life… I survived 5 heart attacks and an emergency triple bypass…. (I never smoked cigarettes) I see life so differently now….

GGiA: Every cloud has a silver lining. This is a wonderful opportunity to improve your ability to do fine work with your left hand. I had a hand injury last year, and started to use the mouse with my left hand. It’s very hard at first, and you will feel like a 3 year old, but keep at it. After a few weeks you will be as good with your left hand as you used to be with your right. And that will help a lot in the future for some things like playing a musical instrument etc. It’s great opportunity to become at least partly ambidextrous!

@richardpierry9801 3 года назад

Two suggestions. Use this time to learn how to use a mouse left handed, then when you get well switch off right to left handed throughout the day so your hand/wrist doesn’t get tired. I do CAD work and this is very helpful. Also get two different sized “mice”. Maybe, using a small travel size mouse will be helpful in you learning to use your left hand. Remap the buttons left to right so you are using your left index finger. Second use your computer’s speech to text functions. The Mac does this well.

@FelifromGermany 3 года назад

Thanks for the tips!

@jimmym3352 3 года назад

Using the house left handed is fairly easy for me. I've done it when I've had repetitive stress injury problems. Never tried writing left handed, that seems much more difficult. But I hardly ever have to write these days, so no biggie. It's other things that would be nearly impossible to do left handed, like bathroom habits. I won't get into those, but even shaving seems like it would be rather difficult left handed.

@Tobi_1957 3 года назад

@@jimmym3352 good for you, I am left handed and using the mouse with the right hand and it is very difficult for me to use the mouse with the left hand, even if I do everything else with my left hand.

@Brirend 3 года назад

@@FelifromGermany Broken wrists are the most common injury when skating because when you fall backwards, your natural inclination is to try and catch yourself with your hands. You can change the settings in your computer to make your mouse left handed (reverses the buttons so you can use the same fingers on your left hand for click and alt click.)

I broke my radius and ulna on my dominant hand about 16 months ago. I was doing things again but with tolerable pain around 16 weeks after i broke it. It still aches sometimes. It takes a long time to fully recover. I asked my surgeon on a scale of 1 to 10 how bad and he said it was a 9 because my radius was in like 4 pieces. Had a few short arm casts and k wires through my skin as part of the experience. Hang in there girlie.

I broke my left wrist back in 2004, and I'm left-handed. Showering was the biggest pain, though, as you can't get the cast wet. I had to wrap/duct tape it in a plastic bag every single time... one-handed. Ugh. --- How'd I break it? Slipping on a patch of ice while walking up a hill to go to work at Osan Air Base, South Korea. In the middle of a combat exercise and wearing full MOPP gear, flak vest, and helmet. Needless to say, throwing your hands out to break the fall with an additional 30-odd pounds of weight equals broken wrist.

It happens. I have US insurance that will pay 100% for surgery. Forigners dont seem to understand that there is thousands of different insurance companies. If you get insurance you choose on how much you want you want to pay monthly. The less it you pay monthly the more your deductible is and vice versa. If you get insurance through your employer you could have no deductible or a small deductible.

@raempftl 3 года назад

@@jessicaely2521 We have hundereds of insurances in Germany and they ALL will pay everything if the surgery is deemed necessary to gain full mobility of her wrist. The amount you pay depends on what you earn as it is a fixed percentage of you income (There is an upper limit though.) but you will get the same treatment no matter how much the absolut amount is you pay.

You could also try a trackball. They're not very common, but your wrist and arm hardly needs to move at all. You could also try to find a stylus that works with your touchpad.

@susie2251 3 года назад

Michael Holub I always use a trackball mouse because I like to use my laptop in bed and the trackpad has burned/irritated my finger tips. The trackball is great because you don’t need a mousepad or any surface to put it on because you don’t move your arm at all (just your thumb to move the ball). So I just have my hand with the mouse on my chest and it works great.

@brianhiles8164 3 года назад

*Fun fact:* The word you were searching for is _dexterous,_ derived from the Latin word for right [handedness]. On the other hand _(grin!),_ the word _sinister_ is derived from the Latin word for left [handedness]. Bias? *P.S.* There are motorized, counter-mounted can openers.... *P.P.S.* Interview your health care professional! Film your surgery?

@eisikater1584 3 года назад

Don't know about about the bias, but the Romans used "dexter" for "right handed", and "sinister" for "left handed" They used it as neutral words, because their aim was that every soldier had to use his sword as best as he could
