Having broken my right collar in 4 places, its now been fixed to metal plates, and should sort itself out in 6 to 7 weeks (i'm told)
in the mean time is it possible for a right handed person to learn to be left handed, i can fill out a crossword left handed but cant sign anything, or write a note! if i persevere is it possible?

My father felt so strongly that he kept me away from school. Use of your non-dominant hand can be upsetting.
It has been suggested that King George VI's stutter was caused by him having been forced to become right-handed. It was not considered proper for the monarch to be sinister.

Yes, though it takes time. About 7 years ago I had a stroke,while I eventually recovered most of my faculties (about 95%) I was left with a weakened right side, I often describe it by saying I cann't carry a full pint, (very serious for a right handed person who likes a pint). While I can still write with my right hand it soon degenerates into an illegible scrawl, so I kept at it till I could use my left hand, still a scrawl but legible. and I can now do most things reasonable well left handed. Keep at you might find it a usefull skill when everthing gets back to normal
of course it is ... if you lost it ... you wouldn't have a choice.
start with something easy like picking your nose ....
writing is harder because it requires a number of mental and physical co-ordinations
but a crossword just needs you to remember the order of the letters.
try treating a note the same way ... 1 letter at a time rather than thinking in whole words
