    PF friends, I'm having some gnarly surgery on my right hand tomorrow and if it becomes too difficult to type then you might not see me for a while. If there's a way to type but do it poorly, it may look like this adfl;apb[-ad=e-emc[

    The surgery is extensive as will be the recovery time. Hopefully I can figure out a way to type and still participate on the board with all my good friends. At least it's comforting to know the hospital and surgeons aren't panicking because first they tried to cancel the surgery, then they said it's ok to do it.

    To my pals on the right, keep up the good fight.

    To my pals on the left, switch sides.

    Until then...

    Steve, wishing you a speedy recovery and a quick return to the forum. Hope everything goes well.

    Oh... left index finger will work. Might take longer, but that will help you pass the time. :)

    I hate hospitals, but find the nurses make it worth the trouble. God Bless whoever designed scrubs :lol:

    Best wishes Steve N, hope you have a speedy recovery.

    At least you didn't get both hands worked on.
    You'd find out who your friends were in a hurry

    Get yourself the below & get really adept with your left hand (obviously w/ a SA trigger function you can thumb back the hammer). I was laid up S/P surgery a few mo. back & really found it helpful in passing the time while honing my skills, lol. (albeit I had to wait until I was out of the hospital) to use my https://www.itargetpro.com/

    Ooops! I just read this. I hope your hand and especially your middle signalling finger is okay now. I mean driving would lose some special meaning if you could not correctly use that in traffic.

    Genetics. It’s a disease associated with people with a heritage of Vikings and Northern Europeans.
