EEEK!! Is there a DIFFERENT MOUSE on the market that would fit your palm better? I think we've talked about mice (computer mice) on the List before.... not that I would like to HOLD a MOUSE all day...my kitty, Winnie, is just fine, thank you...... >Whatever free time I have had each day is often lost to the fatigue, THIS worries me, Barb. Perhaps you could incorporate some breaks in your schedule at work. Stretch breaks, or go outside and smell the flowers..... or whatever is quiet and relaxing..... I break up my day, which right now is filled with contractor and subcontractor meetings, and decisions about what will work best for me in my Parkinson's-adapted house under construction, by quiet breaks, no music, no Muzak, no radio, no TV, and, I SNEAK back to my temporary apartment to visit my kitty or to watch the goldfinches and cardinals....I tell them I have an appointment to get to and due to Parkinson's I need extra time..thank you, Parkinson's......thank you Winnie.....
