Ah, the operation... the short answer is no.

My fingers are no better. I type with all my fingers on the right hand and only the index finger and, sometimes, the middle finger of the left. If I ask the ring finger or pinkie to hit a key there is no telling where it will come down or how many times it will hit that key.

Having said that I am playing the guitar again but not up to the mediocre standards I used to hit.

Tomorrow is Fitness Friday. They passed out a list of timed exercises for the students to do. The list looks like something I used to see when I was a kid, sit-ups (full range of motion), running in place, squats, push-ups, wall sit, etc. We will only do this once a semester as I understand it. Wakana is off tomorrow and has proposed coming to the school to lead my kids in Japanese fitness exercises as done all over Japan.
