redbird: closeup of me drinking tea, in a friend's kitchen (Default)

The skin on the tips of my fingers has been splitting again (as it does in winter even if I try to use enough lotion) and I discovered yesterday evening that my left middle finger and thumb both hurt to touch right now, which makes lifting even light-weight things painful or difficult. Fortunately I don't live alone, and Adrian ct up my salmon for me.

Today has been if anything worse. Mousing Ok, a few tasks are OK, I managed several PT exercises but it has been a hard day. Typing, including comments, is particularly bad.

Ouch. I'm glad you have people to help you. And I won't look for comments or replies. I hope you find something that helps you heal up.

I hope that heals quickly.

I have arthritic fingers and have been training myself to use the dictation software built into Word and into my Google phone. I dictate to email, which autosaves, and then I cut-and-paste to where I actually want the words. It does not work perfectly, but it serves to draft and cuts down the amount of actual typing needed.
