I glanced back casually before crossing the bicycle path, perhaps too casually, for the next thing I knew I was flat on my back, struck by an indignant, humorless, bullet headed, yuppie juggernaut. I took the blame and apologized, though I was a bit suspicious that he had been asleep at the handlebars himself. No skid marks.I was attracting concerned young girls lying on my back, so embarrassed I got up and started feeling for damage. Seems I had landed on my left hand primarily and broken or sprained my wrist. The other gentlemen was quite concerned about his bicycle wheel.By the next day it was obvious that the left-hand would be useless for typing for about three weeks, and I had some patent work that was under deadline due immediately. What to do. What to do. Then I thought about Dragon, which I hadn't used for quite awhile! Dragon to the rescue. Worked quite well. Saved my bacon. I wrote this on Dragon also, since the bicycle accident was just a little over a week ago, and the hand hasn't recovered yet. Very frustrating typing with one hand if you are sort of an opinionated Internet addict accustomed to putting in your two cents worth in forums and blog comments. I'm sure I'll make much use of Dragon in the next couple of weeks until my hand heals.
