James,
I am so sorry to hear about you hand problem. I'm
sure this has been a terrible thing to deal with.
I don't know your full situation, but may I be so bold as
to suggest that perhaps you try learning to send with your other hand?
I've often thought about doing that myself, but never followed through--at least
not yet. I'm a leftie, and in a right handed world there are often things
that just don't work very well using your left hand. For example, in my
work I had a need to run an adding machine, and those don't lend themselves to a
left handed user. So, I learned, and fairly quickly, to do it with my
right hand.
I suspect, in your situation, you will be forced to learn
some things with your other hand, and using a paddle might be a good therapy to
develop coordination in that opposite hand. If you are being forced to use
your left hand now (I'm assuming you were right-handed), I can assure you that
sending with the left hand--even without changing the paddle configuration--is
very doable. It would certainly seem frustrating at first, but I bet you
could do it, and very succesfully. There might even be
very significant side benefits in helping you deal with other tasks.
I hope this doesn't sound insensitive to your
situation. I only mean to make this suggestion with the best of
intentions.

I know what James is dealing with. I had a stroke a few years ago and lost the fine motor skills in my right hand. I was a very good CW operator in fact people used to ask if I was using a keyboard. I could cruise along at 40WPM without a problem, Now I am.using a keyboard. I even had to have a friend program the memories in my K3. I was very depressed at first but now I have come to the realization that it is just part of life and I am lucky to have no other deficits. I have tried left handed, right handed, left foot etc. keyboard is the only salvation.
