health

Hi everyone,

The cold (flu?) I had over Christmas has gone now, but the added strain (on my neck from all the sneezing) has aggravated my median and ulnar nerve problems. I'm also doing new physio therapy exercises to help decompress those. At the moment that's all leaving me in pretty much constant pain. It's not going down to what I consider my safe level for computer use at all

Hope everyone is enjoying the holiday season.

Sorry for not being around, but I've not managed to shake off the head cold that jumped on me as soon as I relaxed after releasing Primstar 1.0.0

It's starting to ease off now but I still don't feel well enough to hold my office hours tonight. Having two different ailments that make it hard to sleep has left me pretty exhausted.

I hope everyone is enjoying making sculpties and I hope to be more active again soon.

I'm back after my little computer free break. I was staying at a friends near the beach and got plenty of long walks along the sand in. Sadly it's Britain and winter so I didn't get to feel the sand between my toes, just the frost on my nose

Well, I had a little visit to the hospital today for my initial checkup with the orthopaedic surgeon.

They took some blood samples and asked a few questions and that was about it.

They are making appointments for me at two more hospitals, one for hand therapy which apparently involves playing computer games.. Well perhaps not games, but some computer driven therapy which involves doing something so the computer can measure differences between my left and right hands.

As most of you are no doubt aware, I've got carpal tunnel syndrome in my mouse wrist which is preventing me from working. I'm still doing what I can on the Primstar scripts, but having been on sick leave since the beginning of the year, I have very little income. Your donations really do make a big difference and for the next week Gaia Glary and the Machinimatrix crew will match any donations made (up to a total of $1000). So if you find the scripts valuable, now is an ideal time to make a donation at the Machinimatrix site
