So, I want to write. I have things to write. But it hurts and I am not supposed to be typing.

You could dictate onto your laptop, and copy type when you're better.

Hi Luc!

My hand hurts. Well duh...I suppose it is supposed to hurt still. But it hurts when I do stupidly easy things like folding towels. It also hurts while typing and driving. The driving is a joke because really, Sam has to turn the key in the ignition and shift for me--but it still hurts to steer the damned thing.

I'm still amazed that you guys have worked out a system that allows him to shift while you operate the clutch at all!

So I asked the physical therapist this morning and he said I am doing things that are pulling or pushing... Well...in general most things you do involve one or the other.

Yeah, technically that's impossible unless your hand remains completely immobilized since all muscles pull.

And I am not good at typing with one hand on my desktop because I can't seem to make myself NOT use my right hand. In my defense...HALF OF MY KEYS HAVE THE LETTERS WORN OFF OF THEM. That's not a problem when I use 2 hands because my fingers know where the keys are, but apparently my brain isn't as certain and it takes forever to tind the right keys.

I'm sorry, yeah I bet that is hard! I'd have trouble too, I only know where the keys are in a "physical" sense rather than an "intellectual" sense. I guess I'd have to like sit there and pretend to be hitting the keys properly in order to figure out what was where.

Anyway, I do have a simple suggestion: get a black sharpie and write the correct letter on all the keys.

Yeah, I did say I was going to whine. I know it could be worse. And it IS because some annoying little animal (squirrel or whatever) stole my two biggest red tomatoes--found them half eaten tonight when I went to pick them for my sandwich! So tomorrow I am taking action. Will get to Home Depot somehow and get some screening and put it around my garden beds. Haven't worked out the details of how I am going to keep the critters out and still let myself in, but will figure that out. NO ONE TOUCHES MY TOMATOES WITHOUT INCURRING MY WRATH! Well, the wrath came after the whine and the near tears (ok, they were slightly more than just "near" because I REALLYwanted those tomatoes).

Well, normally I'd leap to the squirrels' defense since they're my 3rd favourite animal - and they're awfully cute - but this time I'll just point out that it's possible that some malicious bird is actually to blame.

I hope you feel better,

Take care!

Kevin

I'm so sorry Luc... I couldn't help but laugh when I read that you can't type with only one hand. I found it only funny because everyone I know says that's no excuse for a guy since normally when they are on the computer they only use one hand anyway. The other hand is apparently placed elsewhere else. I'm not sure where that place is though, since it's been more then a decade since I've was suckered into trying Cyber sex.

Past that dude, all the best to your recovery, because you've had a really bad go of it. Who would have thought that a simple cat bite could cause so much issues? *Jumps up and down with both hands in the air waving them back and fourth.*

My ninja attack kat warriors guard my tomatoes. Problem is the weather has been unkind and the tomatoes are kinda sad.

Hope you feel better soon.
