I’ve kind of slipped into a grey mood, I guess. Just when things were looking up, I had to go and have this stroke. I tried to keep it from getting me down, but it does overwhelm a person some times. I’ve let more than a few things slide, including TMI. Working on a new [...]
Trying to reteach my left hand how to type. Touch typing’s kinda hard with no sense of touch. Can’t tell if my hand’s wandered away from the home row, or I’m hitting more than one key, or my thumb’s curled under again and is riding the spacebar. Gonna be a while before I can do [...]

Looks like I’m going to be starting out on in-patient physical therapy for a while. Lots of free time, but I’m afraid no TMI for quite a while. I can’t bring in my computer and Dino, my laptop, just isn’t up to running Poser. Thanks to everyone with all the kind words, and I will [...]
have to type one handed, i can’t tell what my left hand is doing well enough to touch type now, figures that the one hand i had been able to use for typing alone was the left I still have the muscular strength, but most of the sensation is gone in my left arm and [...]
