hondorner Posted August 11, 2014 #1 Share Posted August 11, 2014 I've gone back and read several of my responses and was apalled by the number of typos that slipped by me. I'm in hospital, with only a small tablet, using one finger to type, and no preview mode in this software. I spend half of the time to go back and make corrections but still miss many. If anyone has trouble figuring out what I meant, please ask. And, despite how silly some have appeared, it's not a mental hospital :rolleyes:.

YoHoHo Posted August 11, 2014 #7 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Sorry to read your are in hospital Don. Get outa there! Hope you will not be there much longer. I understand what you are saying about single finger tablet typing. Been struggling with that a bit myself and get a few very interesting 'corrections" Being as you are in hospital it might be prudent to 'glove up' though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hondorner Posted August 12, 2014 Author #8 Share Posted August 12, 2014 After nearly disappearing, the edema came back today with new swelling. A new diuretic and a couple more days in hospital called for. Nearly impossible to type from flat on one's back with elevated legs...thanks fir the support, it means a lot coming from my CC friends.

Travelcat2 Posted August 12, 2014 #9 Share Posted August 12, 2014 I asked on the Regent board if you were out of the hospital. Since the edema returned, you are where you should be. Let the professionals do everything they can to get you back on your feet. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mura Posted August 12, 2014 #10 Share Posted August 12, 2014 What TravelCat said. Besides, lots of people make lots of typos ... most of the time they are most forgivable, especially if you're flat on your back with your legs elevated!

dolphinmar Posted August 12, 2014 #11 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Don - we've never corresponded before but I've alway read your posts - you are articulate and balanced in your views - and for that, I've always been appreciative. I hope that you get out of there soon and I'm glad that you'll soon be sailing again. Can totally see it now! Thanks and feel better, sir!

Rare May B Posted August 12, 2014 #12 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Don, Count me also as somebody who has never said hi before but this seems like a good time to do so. If anybody wants to know what they can bring you when they visit, how about a good quality stylus? I don't leave home without mine. Good luck getting outta there, and thank goodness for tablets -- and wifi! --May Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ladydiinflorida Posted August 14, 2014 #20 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Don, I just noticed that you have a Samsung Note. When you are typing and the keyboard appears, theirs a little microphone icon to the left of the space bar. You can use that for voice input instead of having to type. It is a "smart" app, so it will need to learn your speech ans may initially have just as many typos. However, going forward they do ease up. I hope your hospital stay is short and you are well again.

hondorner Posted August 15, 2014 Author #21 Share Posted August 15, 2014 Just returned home, all post-op swelling under control. After all the hospital food, stopped at Applebee's for a riblet basket. Under the circumstances, as heavenly as an Oceania meal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
