Could it be? Yet another post? I was planning to go into work today, but I’m still too tired from yesterday’s paintball games. It was my first ever paintball game, and thanks to Dan for setting that up. Overall, I came out not too badly damaged. But the first shot that hit me, hit me hard, leaving a bruised spot on my chest. I also got a few bug bites. On the other hand, it was extremely fun! I’ll probably talk more about it in a separate thread once Dan posts his photos up.<\/p>\n
Anyway, onto the topic of this post.<\/p>\n
For the past month or so, my right wrist had been hurting. It wasn’t searing pain, but it did hurt when I was using the computer for extended periods of time, which is basically what I do all day and all night. So I finally went in to get it looked at. I was diagnosed with “tendonitis<\/a>,” which isn’t really as bad as it sounds. It just really means my tendons in my wrist area are inflamed. I was given a splint for my wrist and some exercises to do.<\/p>\n I also replaced my mouse both at work and at home with the Microsoft Natural Wireless Laser Mouse 6000<\/a>, which is slanted at an angle more natural for your hands and wrist. Overall, the mouse is nice. As Caleb puts it, it feels like holding a baseball. I still don’t like the wireless aspect of it as I can still feel the jitteriness from time to time. Also I hate the fact it uses the new tilt wheel, making middle click extremely hard to use (the same problem that plagued the Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 6000<\/a>). Honestly, I never really have any use for scrolling left\/right. Maybe I should just use the forward mouse click to be my new middle click. That wouldn’t be too bad.<\/p>\n I’ve got to say I’m impressed this time. In just 3 short weeks, I’m now completely off my splint and am typing w\/o anymore pain. For some time, I was very afraid I had started to develop carpal tunnel syndrome<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Could it be? Yet another post?
