Make sure you don't get one that's too big for you otherwise you might end up hurting yourself more than you're helping. Luckily my workplace is getting better about ergonomics, so they're going to lower my desk for me. But you definitely want to be able to have your feet flat on the ground and sit comfortably.

I used one of these for a few months last winter. Then, one day the ball was getting low on air, so I decided to manually blow some air back into it. While in the process of doing that, the little needle thing in the valve popped out of its place and flew down my windpipe. I couldn't breath, gag or yell for help (Anna was down the hall). So, I had to do a self-Heimlich maneuver on my chair. Scariest minute of my life and I definitely saw my life flash before my eyes. So, yeah... be careful of blowing those balls. I have a story.

It was priceless. I'm telling you -- two days and you're home free from falling off. That is unless your kids sneak up on you and scare you off :) I should have done video of it. It was priceless.

Finally giving me reason to go out and get one. I'll send a pic in some day when I do. You don't happen to have video of yourself falling off the ball on day one do you? It just sounds comical doesn't it? You're on the phone with a vendor, chatting... whoops.. clunk. I’ve been thinking about doing this for a year now. Finally giving me reason to go out and get one.
