Thanks, I had a shot in the hand and was told two weeks before I used it heavily. I came back too soon the other day and paid for it. It's killing me too. Thursday will be one week. We'll see how it is next week. Tomcat suggested getting a ball mouse. He said three people he works with swear by it. Anyone know of a hand friendly model?how you doing man? how's your hand(hand right? arm?) Just realized how much you meant to the board when i just went looking for today's articles. Hope you're feeling better (and not for selfish reasons).
