Learning to mouse all over again...
We had an ergonomic consultant come into the office last week - she looked at my workstation, talked to me about my work habits, and watched me work for a few minutes, and made a few suggestions.
One of those suggestions was to ditch the Logitech Trackman Marble I've used at home for years and replace it with something I can use left handed, to give the small muscles in my right hand a break - or failing that with another VerticalMouse like the one I use at work.
Since the VerticalMouse is a bit on the expensive side ($70), I decided to try learning to mouse left handed.
It reminds me of the time I tried switching to a Dvorak keyboard layout and felt like a total idiot for a day 'till I decided to switch back.
I'll probably stick with this a bit longer, since I'd sorta like to be able to retain use of my right wrist...

Using a mouse left handed isn't too difficult to get used to. I had to do it when I had my right shoulder operated on and to this day left handed is easier. (and you can write without problems.)
