Ow. Damnit.

If you're sitting down to read this, take a moment to appreciate it.

Because you take it for granted, don't you? That you can sit down. And stay sitting down.

My FEET HURT. I spend almost the entire day standing up. Because I'm still recovering from this surgery, can only sit in certain chairs, and have limits for how long I can do that. My feet, shins, knees all hurt. A lot.

And we set the computers up so I *could* stand at mine - so that's where I am a lot. I'm tired.

There's one chair that works pretty well. But we need to rearrange things so I can use it at the computer. And it's a big wooden ladderback chair - and that's exactly how the kids use it, they've knocked it down on themselves several times already, so mostly I can't have it in the same room with them.

Have you tried kneeling? When I sprained my hip, it was actually the most comfortable thing for me.

I was using kneeling some, when I was having the coccyx problems. It would work for a bit, then I'd start having nerves go to sleep and such. And that was back when we had the computers in the other arrangement, so I could sorta kneel and use it, even if it did give me a crick in my neck.

Now, getting in and out of kneeling uses the muscles that were cut open, so isn't too comfy - also, doing it in the living room, if I did have the computers back in the old alignment, would get my back and tush run into by active small children a lot.
