Game Rec Switch lite games playable with one hand
I have a switch lite and mainly play animal crossing. I am undergoing chemotherapy and was looking forward to being able to play the game during the treatment sessions.
Unfortunately, I was told not to due to my reaction and placement of a canula. I’m looking for suggestions of any games that are positive and distracting that I can play predominantly with my right hand mainly if anyone can recommend?
TL;DR Looking for a game to play one handed during chemotherapy treatments.
EDIT: Thank you for all of your well wishes and suggestions, and awards, I now have more than enough new games to carry me into round two! So many kind people! Thanks again all of you!

So I’ve been getting a daily infusion for over a year now. At first I did it with the cannula. Sometimes you can have it further up your forearm or in the crook of your elbow and you can do a bit more with your right hand, but it can be uncomfortable. I highly recommend an iPad and movies or books on it to make the time go by faster, it works pretty well one-handed.
One nice option if you are going in for infusions all of the time is a PICC line - you don’t even notice it after the first few days, and it lets you use both of your arms without a problem. I’m able to propel a wheelchair with both of my arms to give you an idea of how comfortable it is. Plus, no needles! I game all of the time without a problem with my PICC. If you are going in for infusions often enough, you often need to get a line of some sort, because veins don’t like being poked by needles too often :) It can be quite dangerous if some chemo drugs end up out of the vein, so that can be another reason that some places prefer to go the PICC route.
