Hi there y’all! I’ve got good news! Well, at least for those who would like to see me return to the Ares project. As you can read right now I am well on my way to being able to type halfway decently, without it feeling like sado-masochism. I have been ordered by the therapist to exercise my fingers but without putting any force on them. So far I think that this, typing, is a good exercise but I’m a little worried my annoyance at the tempo and accuracy of my typing might end up putting to much force on the middle finger, snapping the bone again.
Maybe I should rewind a bit for clarity. I’ve had an accident and as a result I broke 2 fingers. Not only that (oh if I could I would sighn right now for just having broken fingers) but, always trying to be special I guess, I also ripped my tendons, or at least partially. This is why the repairs are taking longer than with just broken bone or just ripped tendon. The finger had to be strong enough to take the pulling of the tendon and all that. Well, long story short, I think I am up for short stories again, or at least some comments here and there. So my buddy is setting up my computer downstairs with a special keyboard setup so I can type by only moving my fingers a litte bit (my hand was not the only damaged subsytem on my body, it’s best if I not move my lower arm for a while.) and it should be ready tomorrow afternoon.
As soon as it’s ready I am going to hit the backlog of emails I have, then do the same on ufplanets for the messages. Then read up on the forum posts and reply where its appropriate and finally read up on the mission posts and see if I can manage to get back in that saddle as well. All things considered I hope to be back up to date and in story by next thursday.
I also wanted to express my apologies for the complete radio silence. I have tried the one hand mobile typing thing but that’s just not for me. I can’t manage to get more than two lines entered before I get frustraded enough to throw the phone against the wall. I also tried speech to text (with windows and dragon) but I must have an incomprehensible voice or accent or something but I was saying “correct” more than I was getting anything entered that made sense. I also may have been effected by the medication more than I am willing to admit.
Anyway, my return is imminent! (this text took almost three hours to compile and edit, just to give an idea of the speed at which I am working atm.)
