Yep, still here

The good news is the surgery went well. Previous trigger finger release was traumatic. That's why I delayed this for around 18 months. Now I know it can be a well-orchestrated procedure with minimal terror and pain. Since this is the sixth time I've had trigger finger I'm sure there will be a next time for me not to put it off to.

The bad news is it's the middle and ring fingers on my dominant (right) hand and wow do I feel clumsy. To ensure that I don't reach for things by mistake, I've installed a very large fluffy mitten.

I'm switching between macOS/iOS forms of dictation, voice control, sticky keys, and bashing my head gently against a pillow—it's very weird to go from typing 80 words a minute to whatever I don't even want to count.

In summary: medical procedures don't have to be traumatic!

You really don’t know what you’ve got til it’s gone. Last week I was starved for content. Now I’ve got six posts I could draft if I could only type. Not to mention eight pieces of beadwork I would craft if I could only use my right hand.

MyGuy is being exquisitely helpful, and still my major mood is Whine.
