SORE SHOULDER SOLUTIONS
My sore shoulders continue (6 weeks post-procedure), although getting better. Seeing my PT once a week, he does the shoulder release (Google link) which he said "resets" the dysfunctional muscle spindles involved in the knotted muscles.
Now I'm using dictation software (speech-to-text), so I don't have to type as much. Dragon Naturally Speaking, Amazon has it (link).
1. Buy Standard Edition version 10.0 costs about $60
2. You will need the serial number on the disc, but don't install from the disc.
3. Instead, download the latest version 10.1 (link). This works for all Windows systems up to 64-bit Vista. System requirements (link).
For anybody with upper motor problems or dexterity issues this is a great tool, and it can spell better than I do. You need to fix about every 10th word, and sometimes I forget to hit the shut off key and start talking to Doug. Do proofread before you submit
COMPUTER VISION PROBLEMS OR HEADACHES
I am also getting a new kind of minor headache from eye strain on the PC.
So the other way (text-to-speech), the adaptive software and I use is FlameReader.com (link), so you can shut your eyes and listen to stuff you would othersie read on PC or portable devices. Has a human natural voice, Paul or Kate, Roberto or Rosa.
I would appreciate any rehab advice stories you have!
