Been typing all weekend for someone with laryngitis


Posted: Feb 11, 2013

Her laryngitis is getting worse.  The 3 minute dictation was bad and all the ones that ensued (about 8 of them).  Then i about flipped with a 6 minute dictation by her still with layrngitis AND NOW A 20 MINUTE DICTATION!!!!  WITH LARYNGITIS!!!!

I mean cmon, man, can't you wait a day or two till you have your voice back?

Okay, just had to vent.  Now I feel better (except that I'm only half finished and I've already got about 15 blanks).  I can deal with eating, going to the bathroom, burbing and all that, but the voice cutting in and out?  Just think it could wait.  I would say this one tops the dictation where the doc was talking louder and louder as the vacuum was getting closer until she was yelling.  At least I could hear her.

I had one that had laryngitis and whispered her dictation. Drove me crazy. You are right, stay home until you are healthy and can talk in your regular voice.

Leg Pain When Doing TypingJan 25, 2011
Does anyone else get leg cramping/aching while they type?? I used to get them when I started and then it went away, but lately its been getting me again especially in my upper outer thigh. Its not so much an instant leg cramp sensation, just more of a achy feeling (like if you're on a plane) that does go away after I stand up.  Any suggestions?? ...

Typing RaceJul 04, 2010
Thanks to the person who mentioned "Typing Race" online as a way to increase typing speed. (Can't remember what forum.) It is so fun and addictive. Maybe I am just web-illiterate but I had never heard of it before. I am re-learning to type on a Dvorak keyboard, to help my carpal tunnel, and it was sort of (very?) discouraging to be reduced to slow, hesitant typing. But Typing Race is making it so much more fun. Sometimes you get matched up against the same people on different races and the ...

Question Regarding Any MT Having Right Shoulder Problems TypingJul 07, 2010
Hi all:  Has anyone had trouble with right shoulder hurting, burning type pain, tired, feeling like your arm is going to fall off and making right triceps weak after sitting at the computer so long.   I have been to doc twice, on pain pills, muscle relaxers, NSAID, hot tub for muscle soreness.  I have not been to the neurosurgeon yet.  I think it is a pinched nerve causing this as I searched symptoms on line and this is pretty close to what I am having.  Driving me ...

Any Ideas For 25th Anniversary Weekend?May 03, 2012
We are taking a week's vacation at the beach with our children and grandchildren in June.  We split the cost of a beach house.  Everyone has a nice place to stay on the beach, much cheaper when cost is divided. Our 25th anniversary is coming up in October, and my husband and I would like to take a vacation without the kids.  It will only be a 3-4 day stay over a weekend because of limited time off for both of us, and of course limited funds since we will be paying for everyt ...

Great Read For This 4th Of July WeekendJul 01, 2016
The typical U.S. household headed by a person age 65 or older has a net worth 47 times greater than a household headed by someone under 35, according to an analysis of census data released Monday. They like to refer to us as senior citizens, old fogies, geezers, and in some cases dinosaurs. Some of us are "Baby Boomers" getting ready to retire. Others have been retired for some time. We walk a little slower these days and our eyes and hearing are not what they once were. We worked hard, ...
