[HopeHoops]

1. I've been using them since they came out and I STILL have trouble with them.

[warrior1]

2. MFM needs mouse now!

[rurallib]

3. Party in MFM's room!

somebody bring a keg!

[CaliforniaPeggy]

4. My dear MiddleFingerMom!

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

And trust me, you WILL figure out the touchpad. Heck, I did. You can too!

Give it time...

So Good To See You!

:hug:

[Amerigo Vespucci]

6. Years ago I started using an Wacom Intuos2 Platinum 6X8 USB Tablet...

Here's the Amazon photo of what it looks like:



I hardly ever use the mouse...99% of the time I use the graphics pen as my mouse. It took a while to master but now I'd be lost without it.

So yes...MFM, with a little patience, will master the touchpad.

:toast:

[gratuitous]

35. It's gonna require patience?

He's doooooooomed.

[GoCubsGo]

5. Touchpads are a pain in the arse.

I hate 'em. Don't let it get you too frustrated. You'll get the hang of it before you know it.

[Curmudgeoness]

7. So it takes a long time to type for us, you got time, right?

Hope all is ok. Or will be soon. This drama is killing me.

[redwitch]

8. I have a hard time using a mouse now.

I hated the touch pad at first but I love it now. Glad you are on the mend dearie. :hug:

[bluesbassman]

9. I hate touchpads. Get a wireless mouse. I got my last one at Fry's for $10.

Glad to hear you're doing better. :hi:

[Phentex]

10. YAY! And Hooooowwwwdddeeeeeeeee!...

Give it time...although I hate a touch pad, too. Weird thing is I use the mouse very close to the touch pad and it drives other people crazy. :)

:hi:

[elleng]

11. You'll figure it out; I did!

WELCOME BACK!!!

:hi:

[pinboy3niner]

12. Cadillac Rehab?

What's all this about Cadiallac Rehab? That sounds pretty good! Do they serve chablis and lattes? If I were you, I wouldn't be complaining...what's that? CARDIAC Rehab? Well, that's very different...




Get better soon, MFM, and...

...leave the nurses alone!

[Gormy Cuss]

13. Geez, some people will go to any lengths to be where the hot nurses are.

On a serious note, I hope that being in Cardiac Rehab is a good thing.

[applegrove]

14. Good news. Take care of you!

[one_voice]

15. YAY!! It's so good to hear from..

you! I'm sure you'll figure out the touchpad. Behave and keep gettin' better!! :hug:

[LiberalAndProud]

16. You'll be an old pro on that touchpad in a little while.

I hope you feel much much better very very soon.

:hug:

[Kali]

17. heeheeheehee

:P

MFM has blue fingers:rofl:

your new computer is a tease

[NYC_SKP]

18. Hey! Touchpads RAWK, you just have to get accustomed to them. Think about it...

They work will with one hand, which leaves your OTHER hand FREE!

:silly:

:hi:

[nolabear]

19. Actually it's a secret part of rehab.

If you can handle the frustration of learning to use the thing you can handle anything.

Welcome to 21st Century medicine. Or post-medicine. Or something.

[susanr516]

20. Good to hear from you!

Cardiac rehab--sounds like your heart has a substance abuse problem.

Seriously, I'm sending good vibes your way. Get well soon.

[emilyg]

21. Alllllllllllright! Hugs.

[MilesColtrane]

22. I hear those therapists can be brutal during the treadmill sessions.

[marzipanni]

23. You have your own google page!

well, half page, and still growing

I hope you can get a mouse with a USB plug for your laptop-we got one of these at Sears (K-Mart owned by Sears now) and it works well.

(I don't like wireless because of having to replace batteries, but that's just me)

[Angry Dragon]

24. Where do you get the best sponge bath??

[pacalo]

25. I understand the chief physical therapist gave you a thorough evaluation today!

He then called the PT assigned to your case, who happened to be on his day off...





"We'll start MFM with the hand/wrist exercises...hello?...you with me?..."





"...to get him in good shape for his new key pad, &, MOST IMPORTANTLY, to help him with the late-night heavy lifting!"





MFM is back & we're going to PARTY!"

[MiddleFingerMom]

26. Ahh buddy, take heart...

Get well and get back, even the lounge is getting dull without you.

[IcyPeas]

27. Cardiac Rehab? Is this another Dr. Drew Pinsky tv show?

[Inchworm]

28. That's what allll the gurls say

:*

[DFW]

29. I have heart issues, too

Good luck!!! Alive to tell the tale is half the battle.

[kimi]

30. Oh, touchpads

They are a PITA, seriously.

Yeah, nice imagery - touching and padding, hubba hubba, and all - but the things are worthless. Mice are much easier to use - I prefer the corded mice cause then I can't lose em, they are attached to the 'puter.

Good luck with all of that! Don't "Argghh" too much, or you'll end up in the place ya just escaped from :)

[Bake]

31. Hang in there and don't let the touchpad get your blood pressure up!

:hi:

Bake

[solara]

32. YAY!!! -imho, touch pads suck - but I am thrilled for you, touch pads and all

And, I have no doubt that you will figure everything out



:bounce:

[madmom]

33. welcome back!

[libodem]

36. rehab yourself better

I know the trouble with the touch pads cuz I have a touch phone. One finger mom here.

[xchrom]

37. GET. WELL. nt
