As I said in my blog before, I have some lovely pain in my left hand. Needless to say, this makes it tough to type. Of course, the left thumb isn't used in 10 key typing, but the pain likes to remind me that it's them anyway.

I've discovered a good way to write regardless. I'm using a stylus on my tablet. Quite literally the latest chapters of Arctic Fox and the Letters are handwritten. It's really not much slower than typing. And wonderfully, the tablet usually can read my writing. As a matter of fact, I don't have the general problem of my drunk spell checker!

I'm having surgery on my thumb next Friday. I need to ask the doctor if I'll be able to play the bagpipes afterward. He always wanted to learn the bagpipes, if only to annoy my kids. Of course now I would be my Grandkids, but hey...

Regarding Arctic Fox 3, Marcia and Darryl are supposed to get married in 2 weeks, story time. Real time, I'm setting surgery, but I'm hoping to get that part of the story out before I can't hold my tablet for a bit.

So, stay tuned! For those following the Arctic Fox stories, keep reading!

If I might ask

What's going on with your thumb? Trigger thumb/arthritis. Spouse was just told today that she needs shots in it and to see ortho doc. She does have arthritis in her back and is taking pain meds for it, but they cut them back due to kidney dysfunctions. Hope this surgery helps you. Also, maybe MS Word? it has a transcription mode, not the greatest, but used it on my last 2 stories...

My thumb is triggering.

My thumb is triggering. Shots would be an option to try, but I'm very insulin resistant. I suspect when talk to my endocrinologist tomorrow, I'm going to have to go to U500 insulin. Steroid shots mess with blood glucose levels.

As far as MS Word, I don't use microsoft. I use Linux.

Also, I care for developmentally disabled people in my home. It is much better to not have something that is based on sound used as a keyboard. Thats why I don't use a voice to text keyboard. One of my clients repeats everything she hears, but not accurately. LOL. If I'm dictating fiction... Especially as AF3 contains a murder...
LOL!

Appreciate the concern, though.
