Everything Else

I am very much enjoying having my hubby home. My happiness is marred only by the fact that my carpal tunnel syndrome has gotten significantly worse over the past week or so - in both wrists. It's gotten so bad, in fact, that I'm going in for physical therapy tomorrow. Wish me luck!

Have you tried using an ergonomic keyboard? My "mouse elbow" is all but gone now that I use one at work and home.

I've also heard that relearning to type on a DVORAK keyboard (or just typing on a QWERTY that thinks it's a DVORAK thanks to toggling in Window's Regional and Language Options) can help. I read online (so it must be true!) that Dvorak minimizes carpal tunnel since the most used keys are closer together.

I've been considering trying this too (after I finish my manuscript... don't need anything else to slow me down...)
