Just thought I'd 'spain my recent abcence...

[12Footer]

I've been kinda scarce of late, so I figuered an explanation was in order...Seems I got a moderate case of Carpel Tunnel in my left (mouse) wrist,and it's just too dang painful.<br />I've also been trying to spend some qaulity time with my beloved..After all, if I don't run her,the fuel will sour in the bowls. And the wife has also been complaining about a lack of time-spendage...<br />I'll be in and out as it were, until this dangol tunnel quits carpelling.

Just as a thought... I had a friend with Carpel Tunnel. Use your Settings on your computer and reset your mouse buttons. Switch the right and left buttons and use your other hand. It may sound like a struggle but it may help.<br /><br />Bob

Crabby's right....this is Iboats....At this very second I am fending off no less than 5 turkey skitters that got in from the kids going out....typeing with my right hand and swatting with my left.<br /><br />You must type with a nub if nessesary....till you've got only 5 bloody stumps left on each hand and one between the knees.<br /><br />No excueses....just type.<br /><br />Derwood.

Sorry to hear about the Carpal. I have it in both arms. <br />I use a speach to text program (Dragon) for typing sometimes. <br /> How about a hands free mouse?

12Footer welcome back. Sorry about the Carpal Tunnel it bites. A do have one other suggestion. A Trackball. They are great devices esecially for people with Carpal Tunnel and they work better now that they use optical technology instead of mechanical. Here is a link to the Logitech ones. They work well and are available anywhere. The buttons are also programmable so you can use different fingers when you need to.<br />I have a lot of clients that use these because of the same problems you are having. They do take some getting used to.<br /><br /> http://www.logitech.com/index.cfm?page=products/productlist&CRID=22&countryid=19&languageid=1

With almost 2700 posts, iboats may be partially responsible for your carpal tunnel... at least a lawyer might think so <br /><br />good to have your point of view back

Good to hear from you again 12Footer! I have been wondering now and then. <br />Sorry to hear about the carpal tunnel thing. <br />I didn't know what it was so I found this.<br /> http://www.carpaltunnels.com/ <br />I thougt it had to do with fishing or boat hulls <br /><br />Do spend quality time with your beloved, but don't forget about us! <br /><br />I hope the link can be useful.

Re: Just thought I'd 'spain my recent abcence...

WoW! Thanks fer all the flowers,y'all <br />I'm doing fine. It just "flairs-up" at times. And when it does, I am done for abt a week or so.<br />It isn't just the puter that does it to me,it's my tasks at werk. I am in the process of changing some of my routines, and deligating the ones I can't (it's good to be da King)....<br />But I'll be retiring soon,and try not to gum-up the werks at werk.<br />As long as I don't go nutz,or decide it's time to wtite another "CARB101" saga, I should be in-n-out on a regular basis.
