With the weather turning and my wrist being bound up in a bulky cast, I discovered that I can't wear my coats or sweaters on my right arm. As it is I'm wearing my long sleeve shirts with the cuffs unbuttoned, but by itself that's uncomfortable outdoors with the wind blowing the snow around. I would just tough it out, but since the surgery I've had a difficult time staying warm, an issue that is slowly resolving itself. (It's also weird because I've always run hot - I'm the guy wearing short sleeves to work all winter for years, so going the other way is disorienting)
Meanwhile, I discovered an old military surplus winter coat that my brother handed me has unusually wide sleeves. I suppose it's meant to go on over an already bulky set of military gear, but I found it fits very nicely over the cast while being ruthlessly warm.
It's not often you get handed something very out of the ordinary that solves a very specific problem years later.
