I made 114 QSOs in the first hour of CQ WPX CW, mostly S&P, but it's a bit tiring to do everything with one hand.
 
Surgery went well. I'll have this soccer ball on my right hand at least until next Thursday, but after that I hope the dressing will be a bit smaller.

I am right-handed but learned to send left-handed almost from the
beginning.  The obvious advantage is that you never have to put your
pencil down.  I also learned to use a computer mouse with either hand
for much the same reason -- plus I can balance the repetitive motions
to reduce carpal tunnel problems.  I think they call that ambi-moustrous.

Glad to hear Dave is doing well.
