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

[Gaeir Dietrich]

Just remember that you can reverse the mouse buttons so that when you mouse
left-handed, you can still use your index finger as your main "clicking
finger."

 

I developed arm problems when I worked at the publishing company. I changed
my mouse hand to the left for about three years. I was amazed at how quickly
I was able to adapt...and you're right, in a perverse way, it's sort of fun!
<wink>

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

 

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.
