Didnt you do a hop around dance

[hissie]

Actually I didn't. I was very brave & got on with the hoovering.

Have you taken your shoe off yet, Hiss? Can you even get it off ?

[bel]

You need to take your shoe off Hissie, you should of done that straight away and put a bag of frozen peas on it

[Deleted]

damn I wish I had a bag of frozen peas at work with me yesterday my finger wouldn't be so swollen now

Note to self : carry a bag of frozen peas to work in case of impact damage to limbs or appendages

[bel]

Lol Storm, if you carry them around with you they wouldnt be frozen would they

Iv always got a bag of peas in the freezer for such occasions

I know my sore thumb is quite insignificant compared to your injusry Chrissie, but I'm quite depressed about it today

I also have mild CFS/fibro. The sun is shining today (an unusual ocurence in Scotland) and it just shows up how badly my house needs a thorough clean and decorated DH isn't a lot of help, he has arthritis in his neck. God, what a pair!

I'm thinking that I should perhaps invest in a more ergomatic (sp?) mouse, so if anyone has any suggestions?

How are you feeling Chrissie?

[hissie]

Yes, I eventually took my shoe off to reveal a swollen big toe, no bruising tho'.

Got really achy feet today, been on them all day partaking in the clean up operation. Took all day just to clean 1 room & it's still not complete. Paintwork needs a good clean, floor needs painting & anywhere else in that room that needs a lick of paint.

Luckily my house isn't that big or I'd still be cleaning at xmas

[Scylla]

Hissie, you are a trooper and I feel exhausted just hearing about your hard work

Mices are problematic, to say the least. I just bought a simple 3-button (left, right and wheel) Dell mouse that requires hardly any pressure to activate the buttons, nice accurate click. The wheel doesn't have ridges on it to "burn" fingertip (that's how sensitive my darn skin is) and doesn't make a noise when you scroll. It's a bit on the flat side so may not suit all but I've got used to it and it takes so little effort to use, and it works on duvets as well as more conventional surfaces

That one has interchangeable covers, it should be available cheaper without them if you set up a search for it. BTW, the lid is magnetic, nice 'n easy to change batteries, and it has a nano-receiver which won't get knocked about.

Another thing, I rest my wrist on a folded-up large microfibre cloth cos the wrist-bone on the baby-finger side gets really inflamed on a hard surface. I've never found the gel wrist rests to be comfortable.

And yet another thing, what's "ergonomic" for one might be agony for another so we just gotta keep experimenting... Sorry to whitter on but it's been a long and expensive struggle, fingers crossed that this new mouse lives as long as I do
