     Sorry I can't help with mouse repairs (there are a number of
messages here that deal with that) but you're not completely "dead
in the water."  Remember that pressing the left-hand Alt and Amiga
keys simultaneously has the same effect as pressing the left mouse
button.  (Similarly, the right-hand Alt and Amiga keys can fake the
right mouse button.)  It might be kind of awkward, but it'll keep
you going until you get your mouse fixed.
