okay, my phone's screen has flip-flopped back to normal for now, and I can abuse my thumb again to post comments...

Didn't know that things were so hectic for you.

If I drop you an e-mail, will you be able to access your account?

I should, yes, unless something new happens!

Is your thumb calloused?  Mine is just in the spot where I hold the mouse a lot.

Hey Jerome your injury is technically known as "Blackberry thumb" and it gets quite painful from what I've read.  Kind of like those kids in 1982 with hand injuries from the Atari joystick.

A guy has invented something to help with the Blackberry thumb injury called SHARK but it's still in testing mode.  No relief right now!

We're all pulling for your son to be healthy.  And like another poster said, enjoy your vacation OFFLINE as much as possible.  No coup here... no sir... no way :))

well, it's not a Blakberry I am using. My bank has offered me one and I so far refuse to take it (it is less sophisticated than my current 2-year old phone... and I do not want to be officially on call 24/7)

My phone has a touch screen and a virtual keyboard which I use with a small plastic stylus held between thumb and index finger - an obviously unusual gesture to be done over long periods...
