....if i had been paying attention to this diary (like i should hve), i'd realize that yes, i've had a swollen left arm for quite a long time. signif. time. but like any sane person did i stop and try to change things? no. but then again, i know that most of my time ignoring the prob. was because Kinky was dying, and i couldn't think about anything else.
got Safetype, amazing but very strange keyboard, the relief is immed. the innocently evil optical logitech orbital ball is now ebay'ed off. i now have the 3m mouse again for the right hand, which managed to remain better through this whole fiasco (more or less). the left still swells up like a crybaby at any attempt at ordin. exertion; last sat i carried home too many bags fr the local farmers market. i was fine and then boom, sev. days of swelling equals 10 min. of carrying bags.
the zero tension mouse tm site has a set of very very good arm, wrist and hand stretches. like yoga, it offers alot of relief.
and then it's a matter of being Patient and unproductive. and the place really needs cleaning.
the damage of the left does not scare me so much this time, because i know at least fr this diary that i did it in a very short amt of time. it's just another depressing set back. i could try making better decisions. not. :P
