Most people may assume that sitting in front of a computer is easy work. Some may say they get tired of sitting all day and it hurts their neck or something. But, how many people realize that for every click of the mouse or character typed a muscle is engaged in your back (in addition to the neck and tightness average people feel). For me, that means torture. For me, that means minutes in front of a computer instead of hours.
Today, I began distributing my release/announcement titled “Cary Resident Takes on Statewide Pain Awareness and Action Efforts (Advocate Awarded Scholarship to American Pain Foundation’s Advocacy Summit)” Yee-hah. I guess announcing me as a NC American Pain Foundation Action Network Leader makes it more official.
For now, after more than 5,000 (800+ in this blog post alone) characters/arm movements, it’s definitely time to rest. I think I’ll post the release here, when I’m sending it out to others … tomorrow.
Candy's continuing and personal story about life with chronic pain after suffering a broken back. T5 refers to the fifth thoracic vertebra ... broken in 2003.
