odeon, Kayleigh has taught me a few keyboard shortcuts, heh. I especially like Ctrl Z.

The surgeon she saw on Wednesday said that she should come back in six months to see how she's going then. So no surgery. Yet. Kayleigh's dad and sister have both had the surgery and come through it fine. So Kayleigh says.

Something good today - my nephew had his Marchout Parade in the army. I'm quite proud, Mum posted four photos on messenger. He was awarded for his Marksmanship, good on him.

Out of curiosity what happens with Ctrl Z?

Also, I had to train my brain to recognise various tactile sensations again, too. You can't hurry nerve regrowth but you can teach the brain to understand the signals you get.

That's really interesting, what did things feel like when you were doing that? Was it like you could touch a texture and not be able to tell what kind of texture it was without looking?
You'll never self-actualize the subconscious canopy of stardust with that attitude.

It means Undo your last action. I used it a lot at uni when learning how to make tables in Word. I'd stuff it up, Ctrl Z and presto! Mistake undone.

Got my creaky carcass on my bicycle and went for a couple of miles near our old place.  Quite a bit of face wind, which is always pleasant to peddle against....NOT.  But, the sun was bright and warm, so if I had to I walked my bike thru areas that my legs were not feeling like pushing pedals.  Got home had lunch, my version of fish and chips.  Just finished my brandy and coming to the end of a book.   But, I went to the bookstore and bought another bagful to add to my "to be read pile".   8)

Me too. It's not big grocery week so I only needed to pick up a couple of things. I did that early and now I don't have to go anywhere all weekend.  :2thumbsup:

Some people will have more carpal tunnel probs than others. A genetic thing, I guess. I have a friend who never took care of himself, never thought twice about how he types, how he sits, how often he takes breaks. He's never had a single issue with his wrists or shoulders or anything.

Yes, pretty much. Without looking, touching was very different. The therapist would hand me various pieces of fabric to train my senses. I still have them.

It was the same with moving the fingers - they wouldn't obey me at first so the Vulcan salute was out, and I had to look at the fingers and see what I was doing. Took forever and was really weird.

Kind of jealous.
Can't really grow gardenias here without some crazy-level of tending.
With the soil here, it is difficult to keep the pH low enough for gardenias and also rhododendrons, which I love!
Not bad at all for any plant that is OK with near 7pH, but forget those requiring around 6pH.
