Same. The two battle for dominance, but they’re merging into a permanent overall disappointing anger.

I’ve never been this disgusted on a daily basis in my life before. And I moved here in 2001.
Despicable, disheartening, and absolutely horrifying.

The more things change, the more things stay the same. At least that we can rely on.
I took Sunshine to the hand specialist, yesterday. Not good…
A few months ago, she fell into the pantry (reaching for something) and thought she sprained her wrist. We should have gone to Urgent-Care, but didn’t. Any who, it was some type of bone break, not getting it fixed caused some type of problem with a tendon. In order to use her thumb properly, she’ll need an operation on this tendon. Moreover, she’ll be unable to use her dominant hand for 3 months, while it heals properly.
Jokingly, I told her – “You’ll have to learn to use the remote with the other hand”
I keep saying to myself “OK, we got through that issue/problem – we’re home free” – I need to stop saying that.
I’m taking her to the dentist on Wednesday – this is supposed to be just a cleaning, crossing my fingers the dentist doesn’t find anything wrong.

Ugh. That sucks. Good thing she has you around to take care of her, and — as someone who’s just learning now how many things I actually do with my right hand as a supposed “leftie” (I’m pretty whack in a semi-ambidextrous way) — she might learn how to do those things with her other hand. Or try to

We are waiting to hear back from the Surgery Scheduler.
We’re hoping we can get her in sooner rather than later.
Yes, Sunshine is a “lefty”, as well. I’m hopeful she’ll be able to do most things with her right hand. She does like to make lists, I told her to use the computer, type them (hunt and peck) with one hand, then we’ll print them out.
Similar to you and your partner, I guess we’ll adapt and find solutions.

If she has the ability / tekkkmollogy to use voice to text, I heartily endorse that method.
For someone like me with zero patience it’s been a life saver… for the rest of the household

I did receive a backpack and 2 t shirts for raising $1200 in donations for the Canadian Cancer Society!

Voice to text has been a lifesaver since my stroke. I’m writing typing better now but it’s a work in progress.

Protest knitting.

I was thinking about finally picking up some needles and mastering casting on and casting off. I have been knitting and purling since age 12, but never got beyond that.
Ravelry is great, plus there are a lot of helpful videos out there that teach everything Without a video, I never could have figured out how to do a Latvian braid stitch. Best not to have a playful cat around the 2 balls of yarn, though …

Well, we just blew our health equity allotment for 2026 on two crowns and a bridge for me today. Didn’t even cover all of it.
Yay.

Thankfully, sticky/chewy stuff isn’t my cuppa, and I’ve gotten pretty used to chewing on my left side for the kronchy stuff

I had to give up sticky (including my favorite cherry Tootsie Pops) when it began dismantling my dental work.
