[Histonet] Histology and hip replacement

That's what I was going to suggest.  "open a drawer and put a tray or board on it"  We do that any way as a place to set the slides and other paraphernalia that you may need.  It keeps from having to reach over or around.

I would suggest that if you have a table (or can open a drawer and put a tray or board on it), put your water bath beside you. Then you wouldn't need to "push off". Maybe that would be a solution?

Best wishes for a speedy and complete recovery! j

Thanks Peggy,

      I've heard many positive accounts and they help me maintain a positive attitude.  My main restrictions, for a few months are; no crossing of legs, no turning of feet or knees inward, and no bending at the hip past 90 degrees.  Also, items need to be located between my legs before lifting.  One of my concerns is the ability to move between microtome and water bath, while sitting, without violating those restrictions.  I may need to get creative in the layout of the lab.
     On a positive note, the Leica RM2255 we purchased earlier in the year, helped alleviate my repetitive motion problems.  Thank you Histonetters for helping me with that selection.  I apologize for being so long winded.  I guess spending the days locked inside, interacting only with a couple snoring dachshunds, might be taking it's toll.

Fred

I'm a one person lab, and am looking for some input on issues I'll be dealing with when I get back to work.  Ergonomics, etc.
