Physiotherapy has restored 90% use of my right arm. The plan now is my left arm. Today is good.





A world that has gone totally insane.

My oldest son is just over a week now into his OE in England, and loving it. Job and accommodation secured pre-arrival and currently in a 2 week training block before work commences. Was also able to spend some time with his godmother who lives in London, and we (as parents) could not be prouder!

Some were medieval torture literally. They used a traction device to gradually realign my cervical vertebrae. Hurt like hell for a few days. I then had daily home visits for more gentle work to restore movement and sensation, that was ok and the results awesome. When feeling came back it was a strange sensation.

No pain, no gain? 

 

Good to hear that you are getting some good results from the sessions. Hope it continues.

Sounds great. Was there any reason why both arms couldn’t be treated at the same time? Hope that’s not a silly or insensitive question.

The difference between „wanting to die“ and „feeling reborn“ — thanks to 3 or 4 slices of ginger steeped for 10 minutes in boiling water — when you’ve eaten something that didn’t agree with you. 🙂

They needed to attend to the urgent first. There was a high risk of becoming a quadriplegic. How that has been attended to its now time to see f we can stop and reverse the rot.

Over 90 percent noise reduction on the click sound

Silent midnight gaming win.

Coincidentally I just had a different brand fail from left click overuse.

I have approximately three more mice to go before I can buy a new one.

I've had a Logitech G700s for years, and it hasn't skipped a beat.

My first mouse, in the late 80s was a Logitech. Never had a different brand for personal use.

I am boycotting Logitech since they closed the Harmony database and won't let anyone else take it over.😠

I got a logitech pop mouse because it was on sale, and it has the least satisfying click ever on a mouse. If it wasn't that both buttons were the same and they bragged about being quiet I would have assumed it was faulty. Its banished to the shed PC now. Tolerable for a wireless non gaming mouse at least, unlike the previous unifying junk that seemed to love to have a low polling rate and random jitters.

It comes down to the abbreviation of the company name. Four letters save a few microseconds—and that adds up. 🙂
