Can you work out the following formula?
Yep that’s right. I fell off a kid’s scooter whilst going downhill and managed to break my hand. But not your average simple break mind you, oh no, instead the right scaphoid is broken into three pieces and requires a quick operation to pin it all back together. And the reaction I get from family and friends?
To be fair this is about the reaction I deserve for trying to race a 9 year old nephew down the street. Still, the end result is 8 weeks of trying to work on a keyboard/mouse left handed when I’m right handed. So forgive the terse responses to forum/email messages. Remember, those two sentence replies actually took me 15 minutes!

I purchased the Krypton suite a few months ago, and also have the latest version. That being said, if there are any tasks I can help with, please let me know. I’m certain that other customers would be happy to help as well.

Ouch. I hope you get better soon and you fully recover… hand injuries are a programmers worst nightmare. :( take care.

Hi Phil,
Sorry about your hand!
Did you already tried to code using Dragon Naturally Speaking ? :)
Just kidding :-p

Owww…I can relate to this Phil, I also had an accident where I broke my toe. Yours sounds worse though–as you can’t use the computer!!!
Take care and get well soon.

Ouchies, get better soon dude. Coding one handed is no fun at all.
I can kind of relate, I busted my wrist in a nasty way last year. Complete pain in the proverbial!

I hope you’ll recover soon! Sorry about your hand. As you broke it while going downhill you should keep in mind that things can only go uphill after that :-D

Thanks for all the support. I had the op on the hand Tuesday and so hopefully it will only be another 6 weeks in plaster!
