Ask HN: How to work effectively at a typing-based job after breaking my wrist?

I'm a developer and I recently broke my wrist. I now face weeks of typing with a single hand.

You'd assume removing one hand would mean you'd type at half the rate, but I'm finding I'm typing at maybe a quarter as quickly or slower.

I'm dreading this coming period of my life, but it could be worse, so I'm staying positive. At any rate, I'd appreciate help.

Has anyone here gone through a similar experience? Do you have advice / tips / received wisdom that I might benefit from?
