Two Finger Typist

Well, yesterdays surgery is behind me and today with two hands wrapped up like a mummy with a bit of pain I type this message of thanks to you all for your prayers and support! Each letter done with two index fingers.
I have to keep making fists along with doing my best to extend both middle fingers flat which seems to hurt the most right now. Been applying ice packs and taking 800 mil Motrin which is working OK. My wife is taking excellent care of me and I'm pretty sure I can milk this poor, poor, pitiful me handicap at least into the first few days of the new year. 😁
Anyhow, Merry Christmas to all from the Brookwood family to yours!!

Hope you have a quick recovery and get those middle fingers working properly! After all you may need to use a bit of sign language!😁 Bob
Sounds good. Will you get physical therapy?
I need to send you a little brass bell. When we took care of our granddaughter when she broke her leg, I gave the girl a little brass bell to ring when she needed something. My wife was about to kill both of us. LOL!
Aw heck, I type with only two fingers all the time, for real. Glad the surgery is done and you are on the mend. Heal quickly and completely. Best to you.
Note to the naughty ones: He only needs one finger for the BAN switch, stay nice.
Heal quickly before her patience wears thin...
hope it heals up fast for you the hard part is over
I took typing class in 9th grade ( mostly due to the teacher she was young as a teacher could be, long brown hair wore short mini skirts and low cut tops 😛..........oh wait I did lean to type a little on the type writers with no markings on the keys 😫 but lost all the ability . skip ahead 15 or so years I found I had to type when I stated a new job dong reports and so on.
two fingers were all I ever used . you would believe the people who said I have never seen any one type that fast with two fingers
and yes I know my spelling sucks thats a different story 😲
My step daughter who is now a quadriplegic could type 90 wpm in college.
When it comes to typing.......unfortunately.......I've always used The Columbus Method.......which is......Sight and Land. 😉
Another two-finger guy here. Passed on the high school typing class because I was going to be a pilot, not a clerk.
I seem to do fine, but have a lot of typos from near misses. (just there, I typed "so" instead of "do")
Back on topic, I guess... Had an epidural yesterday for my bulged disk. It was NOT a painless procedure. Felt like the needle was actually a cattle *. Do feel better today, but my whole leg is numb. Kind scary going down stairs.
Wishing you all the best Brookwood. As for typing I too use mainly 2 fingers. I also didn't take typing in HS. What a dumb move. That's where all the girls were!
I was told in typing class, columbus method was seek and find.
My teacher not a hottie by no means.😕
