"Q - U- ... no, Q - W - E...... ???? "No, you're not dreaming.... Yes - It's an actual update !!! Boy, how long has it been ..?? Yeah, I know - just look at the last date, but you know what I mean ... And it's not been for lack of desire..... however I've been struck by a strange malady that seems to have no set medical name at this point, so therefore I've christened it : " Scapular Qwertitis " Go ahead look it up ..... According to "Wackster's", "Scapular Qwertitis" is the condition wherein the Scapula & underlying tissues are subject to intense and long-lasting pain when exposed to even short sessions of typing-related activities. What ??? Well, ok, it's not REALLY Wackster's Definition.... but that's the simplest way to put it. For the last couple months my right shoulder has been driving me absolutely nuts! But not from the type of work or use you'd expect.... just primarily every time I sit down in front of the computer..... or when I'm driving for a prolonged period. They think it has something to do with tearing of old scar tissue from an old injury. Just typing this out so far has taken me three times longer than it should. Not such a good thing when your work involves alot of time around a keyborad & mouse. So I'm saying to heck with the pain (I'm actually saying much MORE to it than that... ) and decided I've missed talking with everyone too much to let a little thing like searing , agonizing and debilitating pain come between us ! I have been trying to keep up with as many of you as I could through the sub lists, but haven't been able to comment much. With that in mind, the next posts may be a little shorter in text than normal, but I'll try to get back into rythmn. And if your so inclined, another one of the 'Hutch' has joined Xanga !
