Latest Booster

[katieoxo60]

Hi all , just to let you know my booster is being done at the local chemist by appointment this Thursday. It was easy to do with the text on my phone . But it gets harder and harder on the phone to type in with arthritic hands , anyone else have a similar issue. Is there a speak phone way maybe? OR I guess in time I will have to ring 119 instead. This week I signed up for future health research in BP and other health issues in the hope we can make health services even better for patients in the future.

I've had to use a rubber tipped stylus for many years now because of arthritis in my hands. I used to use little stumpy ones with a little cord attached which plugged into the earphone socket of the iPhone bit switched to the pen size when iPhones did away with earphone sockets.

Thanks for reply & suggestionDon. Used to use one in the past but because I have an hand tremor too its not ideal on the phone keyboard , not too bad on an ipad, touch laptop or tablet. There is no perfect solution that fits all even the talk programmes you have to be very careful as you might forget to close the chat and send things everywhere on line.😊Enjoy the rest of your day in the sun.

My brain tried to make me read your comment as a poem!

[Donald_1931 in reply to TeachKat]

🤣 How did your brain get on with it? Going to post it?

😀 okay - here’s a start:

When sharing my poetic muse, for several years and more,

I’ve had to use a stylus-my poor hands get so sore.

I’d rather use a stylish pen, to share my epic thoughts,

But iPhones are so tiny, it puts me out of sorts!

That’s a start at least .....

[Donald_1931 in reply to TeachKat]

That’s great! You’re hired. 👏🤗

[TeachKat in reply to Donald_1931]

I’m honoured!

It's good of you to sign up for research. I feel I should.

[Donald_1931 in reply to Alberta56]

I’d be afraid of getting certified 😱

[Alberta56 in reply to Donald_1931]

I t's always a risk, since the loonies are in charge of the asylum.

I don’t know about android phones but iPhones allow you to speak and it will type what you say, just select the microphone and you can dictate your message.

[katieoxo60 in reply to jackdup]

Thanks for tip.

[jackdup in reply to katieoxo60]

If the microphone isn’t shown and if you have an iPhone or iPad go to settings, general and keyboard and scroll down to make sure dictation is enabled. Here is a webpage that gives you some tips.
