Before Dawn

-

Before dawn I awake and
The earth is blue and the sky is pink.
I am alone before the world stirs.
Just me and the expectation.
The waiting.
For the sun to come over the eastward hills
And light the sky on fire
To show me what is to come
And burn away the unknown

Sounds kind of weird, but the nerve regrows so slowly that the brain can kind of forget how to use the hand like it did before. The brace will ho

Typing Training Continues

Hi All, It's been quite a while since I've posting, but I wanted to log on and share that my typing has continued to get better and better and I am now up to 94 word per minutes (unfortunately not perfectly accurate, but oh well).

My form is becoming more and more like it used to be and I am getting close to being just as comfortable typing as I used to be.  Joy! I'll post another update soon about how everything else is going, but for now, I'll just say that things are going well!
