Bill Posted April 20, 2022 Report Share Posted April 20, 2022 Sorry to disappoint anyone but maybe only for a while. I have to go into hospital on Friday for surgery on my arm and that’ll mean I’ll be in plaster for a few weeks. It’s my right arm and I’m right-handed so things are going to be a bit tricky. I’ve had over two years practicing how to do things with my left hand (yes there’s a joke in there somewhere) but I’m not sure how I’ll get on trying to type. Fingers crossed if it all works out, I can finally get back to doing all my usual sporting activities. 😉 Bill 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latchford Locks Posted April 20, 2022 Report Share Posted April 20, 2022 Good luck Bill ... you could always get Mrs G. to type for you as you dictate your posts 😁 It would fill in those long uncomfortable visiting times that all people face ; long pauses among any thing that comes to mind. I dread visiting times for that very reason 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Posted April 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2022 Me looking a bit glum at the prospect of seven weeks of trying to do everything left-handed until the cast comes off but hey ho, if it fixes my dodgy wrist then it’ll be worth it. Lets see who's awake bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Posted May 6, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2022 And the good news is the heavy plaster cast came off today and now it’s a much lighter plastic splint that allows me to move my elbow and fingers. It’s still all a bit sore but at least I can type easier and even use a spoon, but I think the driving might have to wait a while.

Bill Posted May 7, 2022 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2022 Yes, I got what they told me a bit muddled. It was two weeks for the plaster then five with the splint. I’ll blame the effects of the anaesthetic for the confusion; can’t go admitting I’m loosing it. Bill 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
