Poor Lewis. And poor Barb! A bored and restless patient is not a fun patient.
I'm thinking about buying something very expensive. Maybe an antelope.

Eh. I'm very caring and solicitous up to a point. Then, I become heartless.

Whine however much you like, just don't do it around me for really, I don't care."

I did this when I had my carpal tunnel surgery on my right hand. I still mouse left at work (I like having the mouse on one hand and the number pad at the other hand).
You could get him one of those paddles with the ball attached. That is a one handed game.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Yeah, there are lots of one-handed games with balls attached. He should be fine!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
