What a nuisance for you Jo, I do empathise. Maybe an opportunity to read the books you've always wanted to read, but never had the time or just have a stroll in the sunshine...raining hard here today! Sending hugs and take care xx

Oh dear. I offer the suggestion of using notes for writing (I do on my phone) but use the microphone option & the words arrive ... on the notes & mostly well spelled & understood!

Hope you recover soon. I have arthritis and carpal tunnel. But thankfully it's not too bad. You might look into installing some kind of voice recognition typing software.

Best!

Sorry to hear you're incapacitated, Jo. What a bind! Well, we'll all be here waiting when you get back, fully restored and raring to go. Enjoy some time off and read lots. I've just read a good book about a group of older women friends you might enjoy. The Weekend by Charlotte Wood.

I am right-hand dominant and recovering from right shoulder surgery (almost 3 weeks ago now). It's all horrible, but in the end it will just be a blip. You can try voice-to-text; it's different from writing, but it does help get thoughts down for later. You should feel better once you get a proper cast.

Last year when temporarily found my wrists so damaged I couldn't type, I decided to call it a vacation and binge read. For some reason calling it a vacation made me less cranky. Hope healing moves quickly, and dogs behave themselves...or at the very least give you a chance to laugh.

Ugh. What a literal pain this must be, Jo. But don’t worry about us. Health is the most important.

Oh dear Jo . Sorry to hear you’ve broken your right hand . That’s a pain in all senses ! I’ve just been looking after my mum who’s had carpet tunnel ops so has had arms in slings so I appreciate your dilemma. Much love

Hope you get full use restored soon, Jo. Be very careful brushing your hair with the 'wrong' hand.....you could have yer eye out!
