Jul. 15th, 2008 07:23 pmWell, the pathetitude* here has gone up a notch, but finally, I'm comfy.
For the past three or four days, I've been in a lot of pain, enough that the only real way I can be comfortable is to alternate between sitting on the recliner (which, while it is mine, has become![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
wtfpotatoes's "comfy zonez!", so I'm grateful to her for giving it up for a few days) and walking around doing stuff. Lying down is too painful for words; sitting in a straightbacked chair is tolerable for short periods. Walking is painful and exhausting, but it seems to help in the long run. Still, I walked around three miles already today, and there's only so much walking a person can do while battling fatigue and pain at the same time.
Anyway, today,someotherguy took me down to the office store and used the company AmEx to buy me a wireless keyboard and mouse. So now, between the wireless setup, the HUGE monitor, the cool Ubuntu ability to zoom in on any browser window really clearly, and my utterly pathetic act of pulling the recliner up to the computer desk (remember those days, TOTGA?), I am finally comfortable.
Go Team Pathetic!
(*note for the sarcasm-impaired: I am actually quite proud of myself and my partner for finding an accommodation for my disabling pain, and don't think it's pathetic at all, except in an amusing way.)
