Good luck with the surgery. I’m sure it will come out fine. I’m equally sure it will be a hassle
for a while, but that you will conquer the beast. (After all, you will still have full use of
your “RIGHT” hand. Hi!)

While tomorrow is listed in the IN Newsletter as a
vacation day for me, in fact I will be undergoing outpatient surgery on my left
hand tomorrow morning. I have a hereditary condition called Dupuytren's
Contracture, which if untreated will result in my fingers eventually curling
into my palm (two of them are about halfway there already).
My hand will be in a cast for a while, after which
I'll have to wear a splint and do physical therapy. Keyboarding will be
problematic for a while.
Fortunately, while I'm left-handed, I send CW with my
right hand.
