I'm right-handed, but in 2008 I had shoulder replacement surgery on my right shoulder due to a crash.
My wife took great care of me, but I had to learn to do many things for myself with my left hand - eat, wash, bathroom, etc.
I was as fit as a fiddle after six months of physio, but by then I had learned to use my left hand really well and even today I catch myself reaching with my left arm instead of my right.
I can't write with my left hand, or do anything delicate like that, but I can do many ordinary things now I couldn't before the crash.
BTW, the crash was in the wilds of Peru, but that's another story.
