How I did it
How to mouse left-handed
It took me
1 month
It made me
Pain Free

How I did it: I believe it was in about 1994 when our office first got computers with mice.  At the time I was working in Word Processing and was having some significant carpal tunnel pain in my right wrist from all the typing.Before we got the new computers and while we were evaluating systems, I visited a friend in another law firm to look at what systems they had in place and how they were using them.  I noticed my friend was using the mou… Read how I did it…

Update Nov 11 2009 1 week ago

Go 30 days without burgers or fries. Well, I must admit I’ve had a few slips since I last reported on this. Not too many though and I’ve turned it back around before a full relapse. I’m going to start counting another 30 days to help me be more mindful and try to break this habit completely. Today will be day 3.

take good care of my Mom (read all 35 entries…)
Hoo Boy 1 week ago

Well, Mom was sad when she first heard about not being able to stand on her leg for 6 weeks. But she didn’t understand what that would mean in terms of how long she will have to stay in the nursing home for rehab.

Yesterday I had to break the news to her. She was very, very disappointed. Now she’s quite depressed. And I feel bad because I live in another city and can’t go back to visit her until the weekend. She has others who will visit from time to time, but really all she wants to do is go home. Her doctor originally said she would be in there “a couple weeks.” But that was before her surgery and before they knew she broke the top of her femur as well and that her bones are sooo osteoporotic it required some extra patching.

Ultimately she will be okay and able to walk again, it’s just going to take longer than she wants to be away from home. I hope she doesn’t get too depressed in there.

This photo is of Mom and my Aunt Darlene while Mom was in the hospital. She was in great spirits at the time. That’s before she knew about the complications.
