Well I know exactly how you feel, I have no use of my right side and the left is on its way somewhere. I use that Dragon program and it works pretty good. Just doesnt help with fishing.

I almost gave up fishing, but adjusted by switching sides of reels. Also looking into getting a fishing belt, kind of goofy looking for fresh water but who cares if it works. Given up alot of things, but no way am I giving up fishing.

Yesterday I got so frustrated with this numbness while redoing my website, I quit and smashed my left hand with a book, it didnt help lol.

Hope yours is just temp, because mines been constant for 2 years almost. Just have to live with it and adjust.
