I did try to do a bit of freelancing. Struggled badly at a standing workstation. I also tried a new type of keyboard with mouse built in, & while it helped a little, trying to do intricate design elements was impossible & them getting up & down from my laying on sofa, crouching, etc, to get closer to screen, I lasted a few hours & it flared my pain up for three weeks, so that was a no go too... I am hoping that surgery allows me to get into some kind of work. I would accept shifts in McDonalds at the moment...
