my best to you, I'm very impressed with your "painstaking typing"

Hang in there,

Happy that healing well can be part of your therapy...

Thinking of you, Mel. Keep typing. More than one thing that HW is useful for, huh LOL.
You're a tough guy, keep it up.

Mel –

You said:

"Typing is painstaking, but good therapy."

For sure! Keep that keyboard active! If a journey of 1000 miles begins with a single step, then a pile of typed pages begins with a single keystroke! Start with one keystroke. Then add another. And then another …

A homework assignment for you, professor. You are to set a typing goal for each day. A little at first (see what you can do). Then the following day add a little bit more, and a little bit more the next day, and on and on. Write a letter. Write a poem. Better yet, write to us here at HW, 24/7. Just keep that keyboard busy. It will pay off!

You get all the bump privileges you want on this thread. Are you still in California as you work yourself back into shape? More important...how are you doing?

Mel - Today's comment put a big smile on my face. Your determination reminds me of my mother's. She suffered a major stroke at age 55. Her doctors told her something like "If you're lucky, you will walk again, but you will need crutches or a walker for the rest of your life." Mom went on to wear out 3 or 4 exercise bicycles and within less than a year she was walking without so much as a limp. She just wouldn't hear of being disabled in any way, and went about the task of fixing herself. I think you're working from the same playbook, and I wish you the same great results.

P.S. Mom went so far as to gain back apparently all of her fine-motor skills, including her wonderful Palmer penmanship. Who says the elderly are weak?

And the Moral of Paxton's story.... when the Dr sounds pessimistic, it really means he doesn't know jack so don't pay attention.

Mel, keep it up.
