Post-surgery: doing fine

Home from surgery several hours now. Definitely a little dopey - slower thinking and an "I don't care" aspect to all thought. The nerve block done to numb my shoulder has turned my right arm into a log. Some 10 hours on, I am just starting to have more feeling and motion control in my fingers. The rest is still numb and limp. It will all come back in the next few hours.

I am fast learning what being sinister is all about. Eating with a fork makes me feel like a three-year-old: I can do it, but it's real clumsy. I can button a button, but it's not that easy. Ah, these new things to learn ...

Speaking of which, the PowerBook has some cool voice recognition software, but it does not work with evil Word and I haven't yet figured out how to get it to work with Firefox (my web browser) ... so I am stuck with lefty typing for a while. It all works out, though: I can type about as fast as I can think. :-)
