They are getting better. Getting used to the "shortened" one is awkward, though. I can't write with a pen very well or pick things up like before, but I'll adapt.

Thanks.

Tim,

Did you have an accident or injury to one of your hands?

If your injury is still fresh (not yet closed), write me.

Kind regards,

[Tim]

Yes, I cut the end of my right, middle finger down to the first joint. Plus sliced half the finger nail off the index finger. It is healing up ok. The Dr gave me the option to just let it try to heal on its own instead of having to shorten it more to get skin to cover it.

I cut it off on a woodworking jointer/planer doing something stupid in a hurry.

(It was almost 60 years to the day after I cut the index finger half off on my left hand on a piece of farm equipment when I was 5 years old. Now I'm "handicapped" in both hands and running out of fingers)

Hey Tim,
You have made some very good improvements to LexiScope:
1. I really appreciate documentation being freed from the app.
2. You did very good at updating the doc content.
3. I like having Bible Tree surfaced in LexiScope.
4. When doing simple Trees (Mathew, fornication) the Tree, the resulting does not show verses correctly. It should wrap verse(s) correctly. The ending of a verse is truncated (this was happening in Preserved Word and was carried over LexiScope.)
5. Syntax Tree shows its data source as the query results (in this case 13 results (several refs having more than one result row. Should we not be able to have the same result data set being used by Phrases? That would allow more accuracy in selecting references in the drop-down reference selector in Phrases.
6. I like being able to modify the original query results from within the various charts, but that says Charts must operate from the modified data set. Otherwise, it doesn't work very well.
7. Greek grammar help could use a little "sprucing up.) I'd like to see more examples (some English) giving a better idea how the
POS are used (possibly showing in English and Greek examples of the POS being used.

It is not possible to wrap the text and retain the tree layout. It is all premised on one verse per line.

5. Syntax Tree shows its data source as the query results (in this case 13 results (several refs having more than one result row. Should we not be able to have the same result data set being used by Phrases? That would allow more accuracy in selecting references in the drop-down reference selector in Phrases.

We discussed this twice before. Different charts use different data sets. Some use words, others use verses.

Greek grammar help could use a little "sprucing up.) I'd like to see more examples (some English) giving a better idea how the
POS are used (possibly showing in English and Greek examples of the POS being used.

If you have or want to make some helpful examples, I will add them.

Could we have LexiScope start from the toolbar in BA?

Could we export query result verses to Multiwindow in BA?

Oh my, I am heartsick to hear about this. I am so, so sorry, and I will be praying for you.

I lost the tip of the middle finger of my left hand while trying to manually close a garage door 2 summers ago. The injury is called an avulsion, but it's like an amputation. I decided to keep the wound open to close on its own rather than have it stitched closed. I knew little about wound care at the time, and in desperation I thought that a 21-day fast would help, as I had been reading about the benefits of fasting. Instead, I should have been eating more healthy and taking a protein supplement. Months later I met the man who runs https://healthtoheal.org/health-to-heal-inc for a wound that my wife had. The number #1 treatment for wounds (lesions, sores, injuries) is protein, as a deep examination of this site will show. I never regained the pad back on the tip of my finger, and in a couple months the middle, ring, and baby finger developed Dupreyen's Contracture, which sometimes starts in older men after an injury. Thankfully, the curvature is not too pronounced.

If your injury has not yet closed, add a Collagen and protein supplement to your diet - https://healthtoheal.org/shop/ols/categories/lps - and don't do any fasting at this time. If your medical care includes physical therapy, vigorously follow the advice and exercises of the therapist, because even uninjured fingers can develop contracture as a sympathetic reaction to an injured finger.

One of the things I miss the most is playing guitar, which I haven't done for 2 years. I can still type with both hands, and for this I am grateful.

Yours/His,

Thanks very much for the prayers and concern.

My injury was deemed an amputation since the finger was sliced off cleanly. It is healing well but was cut very close to where the tendon connects to the joint and the inside part of the finger is stiff and sore until I work it some. It is becoming more mobile. I can almost make a fully closed fist now. I expect the end of the finger to be numb for quite a while if not always.

My left missing finger would have been an avulsion. The old country Dr. sewed it back on but in two day it was turning black and had to be removed. He had to take off about 3/8 in below the injury to close it.

With my right finger the Dr. said since no bone was exposed, I would retain more mobility by letting it heal on its own, and that's what I did.

Yes, the body needs extra nutrients to heal; it would not be prudent to fast at that time in my view.
