As a doctor that does arm and lung surgeries, it’s too easy of a mistake to make. One of the most common errors when I need to go in and remove both your lungs. I’ve also accidentally removed the patient’s head a number of times.
It's pretty common, I'd say, and not limited strictly to the medical profession. People tend to just brush it off and forget about it, but go to any community pool and the number of kids nearly drowning because they keep waving their arms instead of lifting their heads out of the water is pretty crazy. Between the constant high fives and CPR it's a pretty tough lifeguard gig.
Varianta 1 (Naturală și detaliată): I’ve never actually timed it, but I’ve been typing like this for 14 years now, so I can type pretty fast! Practice makes perfect.
My guy, I'm able bodied but recently I rarely type anything. Have you seen / heard of Wispr Flow? It's voice dictation but it punctuates and removes mistakes and repeats etc.. Would be perfect for you.
Brother, you might want to try the Rango browser with Talon voice. You can also check out the Tobii eye tracker.
I've been dealing with arthritis and typing has been difficult. I've been benefiting from voice to text through the FUTO keyboard on Android and it's been a huge help. So something like the setup I was talking about for the PC might be nice for you. Voice to text has come a long way.
Thank you so much for the recommendations! I know voice-to-text and eye-tracking technology have come a long way, but the really good setups and software cost a lot of money, which I don't have right now. Plus, after 14 years, I've gotten so used to typing with my foot that it feels completely natural to me. I really appreciate your helpful advice, though!
I been in the battle a long time. 62, MDS blood cancer, then a bone marrow transplant, now acute graft versus host. I'm waiting to see my oncologist as I write this. Every day I am grateful for my medical professionals and that I am still alive. 🙏🏻 Keep up the good fight brother. It takes forever sometimes but it sure beats the alternative. 💪🏻
Thank you so much, brother. Your strength is truly inspiring. Sending you so much love and positive energy for your appointment today. Let's keep fighting this battle together! 💪🏻
I imagine that the rest of your body was quite beat-up as well but it’s no longer obvious? I’m very curious how your arms were so damaged that it was necessary to amputate at both shoulders but the rest of you was (comparatively) unharmed.
Actually, my arms weren't surgically amputated. They were completely torn off (traumatic avulsion) during the train accident. It's a miracle I survived the rest of the impact, but that's what happened.
You can't just drop that without giving the exact details. Were you working on the train or were you a passenger or were you outside the train were you inside how did your arms get such force applied to them
Thank you so much, man. Honestly, getting bionic arms is my ultimate dream and the main reason I am here on Reddit. It feels almost impossible right now, but I'm not giving up hope. Thank you for the wishes! 🙏🏻
Glad you survived that, it is a complicated surgery. My neighbour also had a more serious surgery a month time ago where they had to fix his main vein as it had gone out of control and baggy, so they had to cut him up quite some through the torso. He survived it, thankfully.
Thank you so much! I am very glad to hear your neighbor survived his surgery as well. Torso and chest surgeries are incredibly tough on the body, so it’s a blessing we are both here. Wishing him a smooth recovery too! 🙏🏻
No worries at all! I actually use my foot to type on my PC keyboard and navigate the mouse. I’ve been doing it for 14 years, so it's second nature to me now!
Yeah, the train definitely won that fight. As for smoking, yes, I used to smoke, but I quit. I haven't touched a cigarette since the surgery! Thanks for the wishes.
Man. Amputees just make me ashamed of myself for being depressed and sucdal. Sorry for making this about me but that's the guilt I feel each time of my privilege.
I don't believe in God but damn, may you be hella hella blessed. And maybe paint or play the piano with your legs!
Please don't feel guilty. Everyone fights their own battles, and mental health is just as tough. As for your subgestion, I don't have a talent for painting or music, but I absolutely love to write! Writing has been my way of expressing myself for 14 years. Stay strong, my friend, and thank you for the beautiful blessings! 🙏🏻
The PJ and sunglasses makes you look like a mob boss roused out of bed/saturday siesta to be delivered bad news, juxtaposing underlying power and seriousness with a somewhat silly patterned sleeping attire.
Only need a glass of orange juice to complete the frame.
I hear you! Just did double jaw surgery at 50 and watching all the 20 year olds post about how they recovered in 3 months, while I’m still struggling here after more than a year, is sobering. But we’re still here and we’ll get there, it just takes a little longer. We got this.
I had to have a lung removed at 30 due to cancer. I didn't have to go through chemo thankfully. it was just a one time surgery. recovery took a year.
at one week, I think you're recovering better than I did at 30. my surgeon regularly did open heart surgeries and said lung surgeries have the worst recoveries of anything.
Hey man, high five and a round of applause! Good luck on the recovery! Watch out when those hospital billing people come around though, you gotta keep those people at arms length
We really are in the exact same boat! Please tell him happy early 60th birthday from me. It is incredibly tough right now, but tell him another 60-year-old brother is fighting the same battle and sending him strength. It gets better day by day!
Bro is about to step into the Pete & Bas rap world, and drop Unarmed and Dangerous as his first single with this as the album cover. "Armed like a tripod, need no digits when the girlies keep throwing theirs."
Joking aside, at first glance, I had to double take and go "what fucked up camera angle made both his arms disappear like that?" Then I scrolled, and saw your train story. Holy fuck man, you're already a badass survivor. You got this lung thing solved.
Hey congrats on the recovery. I saw you mentioned a few hours ago that you lost your arms in a fight with a train. You seem to be very open/have a really good sense of humor so I apologize, but just wondering if you'd be willing to share any details on that accident?

You should've written "These are not lungs" on your arms.
Good luck man, take it easy on yourself.
