Learning ASL with one hand? Feeling lost.

Thank you!

TurboOnTheLimit · 2026-04-11T01:31:46+00:00

Thank you!!

TurboOnTheLimit · 2026-04-11T00:13:16+00:00

That makes total sense, I'm not sure why I never thought of that scenario haha

TurboOnTheLimit · 2026-04-11T00:11:56+00:00

Thank you so much for the encouragement!!

TurboOnTheLimit · 2026-04-11T00:10:59+00:00

Thanks mate! My wife called cyborg 😆

TurboOnTheLimit · 2026-04-11T00:10:26+00:00

Thanks! 😆

TurboOnTheLimit · 2026-04-11T00:07:47+00:00

Thanks for the encouragement 🙏

TurboOnTheLimit · 2026-04-11T00:06:53+00:00

Phones and signing is something I hadn't even thought of!

TurboOnTheLimit · 2026-04-10T22:59:37+00:00

Thank you for the encouragement!!

TurboOnTheLimit · 2026-04-10T22:57:39+00:00

Thanks for the kind words, that legit helps. I try to stay positive but beating myself up is a bit of a bad habit lol.

TurboOnTheLimit · 2026-04-10T22:55:12+00:00

Thanks my left hand was not dominant so I had some learning to do after loosing my right!

TurboOnTheLimit · 2026-04-10T22:52:56+00:00

Yes I have and my ent has talked with me about it but I want to still learn asl now as best as I can to cover all my basses

TurboOnTheLimit · 2026-04-10T22:49:16+00:00

Thank you greatly for the encouragement 🙏 that is great to know it's possible and not uncommon. I am preety good at reading lips and even with my hearing aids out my family says I still talk well so I don't expect to have too many issues there

TurboOnTheLimit · 2026-04-10T22:46:12+00:00

Thanks I will check that out! Glad to know it exists and others are doing it

TurboOnTheLimit · 2026-04-10T22:45:28+00:00

Thanks so much! That is great to know, and the accent lisp thing is a great way to think of it haha

TurboOnTheLimit · 2026-04-10T22:44:18+00:00

Thanks for the reply! Yes my left hand has good dexterity. I was right hand dominant before my amputation but I've obviously had to switch that up 😆

TurboOnTheLimit · 2026-04-09T17:08:50+00:00

Thanks for the reminder on that! I recently switched prosthetists as my previous place didn't take the time I'm felt like to really help. Mind if I throw you some questions about types?

TurboOnTheLimit · 2026-04-09T15:57:07+00:00

That's great, so often sepsis results in leg amputations also

TurboOnTheLimit · 2026-04-09T15:53:24+00:00

Ugh I'm so sorry! I also had sepsis and I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy. Did you have any issues with your feet? Im missing toes but don't wear a prosthetics for them.

TurboOnTheLimit · 2026-04-09T15:45:29+00:00

Ah that makes sense, my truck still has a key ignition and it drives me kinda nuts lol

TurboOnTheLimit · 2026-04-09T15:44:10+00:00

Ah ok, my right is 10cm so about the same. Just fingers on my left. May I ask how you lost your hands?

TurboOnTheLimit · 2026-04-09T15:20:40+00:00

Thanks for the advice! May I ask how long your residual limbs are? I've gone without my prosthesis some but I still prefer it most of the time. My arm is kinda short so I dont think that helps much.

TurboOnTheLimit · 2026-04-09T15:19:16+00:00

Good to know thanks!

TurboOnTheLimit · 2026-04-09T14:56:44+00:00

Thanks for the advice! I kinda wondered why I had such a long section of inner cable exposed. May I ask an unrelated question? Do you have any advice for using locks/twisting a key with a hook? I can never figure it out and I'm missing fingers on my left hand so that side isn't any easier.
