Plague diary: update

[lydy]

I have made an appointment with the follow-up orthopedic doc for Thursday the 17th.  They will re-x-ray, and the receptionist says that's the fracture is not displaced and I might just have a cast for six weeks. Guess we'll see what we will see.  If anybody uses the dictation function on a macintosh, can you tell me why it types my clauses in this twice.  The editing is actually a pain in the ass.

Oh, I hope you don't need surgery. That would be a great improvement.

I'm afraid I don't know anything about voice to text thingies, but I imagine your comments are about to be filled by people who do.

Saffron has a vet appointment on the 17th. She sends solidarity, although since she is looking down her nose it is a trifle judgemental.

Well the fracture not being displaced sounds like a little ray of hope in this FUBAR situation.

Love you. Hate that the crap is piled up so high right now. It's a true "No shit, there I was" tale through and through. Can we please fast-forward to the happy ending part? The world's karma owes you a lottery win. A big one.

Is the follow-up orthopedic doc in Cleveland or the Sin Twitties?

Onward.

Well!

I hope this is a marked improvement over your original transcripted report. Good luck and a speedy recovery.

I do not have a Mac to play with. However, poking around on the internet suggests the usual things:

-- Switching Dictation off and then on again (which you've probably tried already)

-- Switch Dictation off, restart your Mac, then switch Dictation on again (again, you've probably done this)

-- If you are dictating in Safari, try using a different browser.

Many more suggestions over here, at a source of unknown reliability. At least it gives detailed instructions.

How'd the follow-up appointment go?

[lydy]

Maybe not surgery. Break not possible to put cast on. Re-Xray on 23rd. Massive bruise, lots of pain. In Cleveland prolly 10 more days. More later when more energy to post.

[gerisullivan]

Urg. Sounds exhausting. So glad David is there.

Owww, I'm so sorry.

Your cats are fine. Ninja demonstrated his trick of running up to yowl at the upstairs kitchen door after being given a treat, even though I was the one who gave it to him. Little weirdo. He also sat next to me and purred a lot, so he can be weird if he likes.
