c) typing skills.

Those are most useful.

I had a slip/fall in the mountains, wound up losing a spleen and a kidney, broke 3 ribs (one thoractic puncture) and C-5. It was a blizzard, so that snow and wind thing sorta gave me frostbite and hypothermia.

2 weeks in ICU and trauma care, 17 units of whole blood and a year of working it out did wonders for bouncing back.

But I'm not quite up to my pre-injury typing speed. Fingers don't work quite correctly. I'm down to 55 wpm.

I miss my kidney. Spleen and I never talked much anyway. I suppose I should miss my mind, but that doesn't seem to matter... I really miss my typing skills.

Thanks for your reply.

Down to 55 wpm? Heck, I’m a two finger Charlie. There are days when I don’t even think at 55 wpm.

Based on the extent of your injuries, sounds like you were lucky just to survive the fall. I’m assuming you were with a group when it happened. How long before you were able to be evacuated to a medical facility?
