When the doctor told me my right wrist would be out of commission for 6 to 8 weeks I commented that I would have to teach my left hand to do a few things, such as brush my teeth. He chuckled and suggested a vibrating toothbrush. I thought that was a good idea but that there was the other end of the alimentary canal to think about. My left hand has no experience down there. He said that is what a garden hose was for.
