Greetings, all.
We've been experiencing wide temperature swings with highs varying between mid-90s and high 60s. I'm not outdoors very much so it doesn't affect me very much (but we have used both furnace and A/C recently).
Regarding ability to type, my lack of hand/arm control has made typing very laborious. I experimented with the native Windows 10 voice control; it has some nice features but I found it a bit lacking for me needs. I've ended up using Dragon Home voice control software, and it works pretty well. I find it a bit cumbersome for web browsing but it's fine for dictation. For anyone who may want to go that way, I suggest getting it before you really need it so you can practice gradually and not become too frustrated.
(IOS has pretty good voice controls, but for me I can't manipulate my tablet or phone very well.)
Otherwise, still using all the equipment (PWC, Hoyer, BiPAP, cough assist, etc.), with the sorry-I-need-it / glad-I-have-it thing going on.
And hang in there to my fellow travelers.
