[Athen] Some people go way out of their way...

[Phillip A. Goodman]

HI Susan

I had rotator cuff surgery some years back.  As an OT I knew what I was in
for having spent 3 months in an internship where it sometimes seemed all did
was shoulder rehab.  The Ergorest Arm Support product at this site
http://www.comfortkeyboard.com/  is a lifesaver.  I was back to using the
keyboard and mouse way before I was supposed to.  Not to say you should not
follow your doctor or therapists instructions, but I know you will like this
product!

I have to have shoulder surgery on December 19th.  Despite the fact that I
was never a big league pitcher, I apparently have managed to tear my rotator
cuff, and have some unusual bone growth and bursitis in the shoulder/arm
joint that needs to be removed.  I will lose the use of my right arm for
several weeks, if not longer and am being told not to look for a miraculous
recovery, that it may be a year before I'm back to a good arm again.  

 

The perverse side of me is looking forward to the experience of doing
everything with my one non-dominant hand. 

 

Any adaptive technology I should be checking out (besides Dragon, I already
have that in place)?  I might as well use this down time for research in my
field.
