Chronic Pain

Coping with chronic pain is bad enough, but most of us still have to work while we cope.

As one who has had to deal with tendinitis and related repetitive stress problems as a freelance writer, I'd like to direct others with similar problems to Page 10 of the American Chronic Pain Association Chronicle this month, where there is a helpful diagram for those who work all day with computers.

If you don't know already, a proper workstation is of primary importance for both avoidance of and living with pain in your workplace.

Believe me, RSS (repetitive stress syndrome) is a lot easier to prevent than cure. Check it out, then email them at the address below to become a member. They do great good for those of us who suffer as we work.

Hands

Don't know if you have this problem, but I have to take some time away from the computer. My hands hurt and go numb. Tendinitis. Nasty. Back soon.

Still A Blogging Virgin

Yep. I read all the posts, especially those of the savvy ladies above, but I still don't get it—could some dear soul please explain tagging and pinging to me?

I guess I have to read more of the info on Technorati. As noted, I just cleared the way for you, dear reader, to post to this blog, so please be my guest. But be gentle. Us computer and Internet dummies don't particularly like having our stupidity pointed out to us.

Thanks. Meanwhile, I'll be in the garden, digging holes, though I don't do nearly as thorough a job as my dog, Fizzbo, when she is after gophers. If I could only channel and direct that energy! Hmmm...

ML

P.S.: The only reason I'm allowing myself some time to putter is that I've finally, as of today, finished the final draft of my book, Accidental Cowgirl.

YeeHaw!
