Damn, I wish I could figure out why I get so much shoulder pain when I use the trackball at work and not at home. I have the same trackball and everything. I've even paid close attention to how I sit at home to see if there was a difference. Here I am, just an hour in, and my shoulder is beginning to hurt. By the end of the day, it will be wretched.
So yeah, I'm back at work. Still not feeling great, but there you go.
I'm sure everyone has heard by now that Atlantis has been canceled. It really surprised me -- it's not like there's a wealth of decent viewing on SciFi. I thought it was one of their highest rated scripted shows? Very strange. I'm going to miss it.
Women's Beach Volleyball last night was awesome!! I was on the edge of my seat. Yay! for Misti May and Kerri winning the Gold!
medie is having a Love Meme at her place. I mention this so I don't have to buy her dinner [g]
Waiting for my tea to steep, then maybe I'll feel a little more human.
Later: here's me.

Date: 2008-08-21 04:46 pm (UTC)From:At work, the desk sits at a height that allows my right elbow to rest on the desk without pushing the upper arm into the shoulder. I do not have pain at work.
At home, my work surface is higher and the elbow pushes the upper arm into the shoulder causing pain. I also have less desk space between the keyboard/mouse pad and the edge of the desk on which to lay my arm. Both of these contribute to the pain.
Sometime in the next two weeks my regular doctor is getting me into an orthosurgeon to check out that shoulder. I had rotator cuff problems with both shoulders several (maybe ten) years ago. I have had the drill bit in the shuolder joint problem now for about 18 months. The last time it was looked at (October 2007) they couldn't find anything, so its back to a different set of doctors. None of the usual medications have a significant effect on the pain, so I work to ignore it during the day and hit it with 800mg of Ibuprofen at night.
Hope you are feeling better. TTFN (Ta-Ta For Now)
