Surgery Update

There was no surgery because it turns out I don't have trigger finger on either hand but something called a bilateral middle finger sagittal band injury. In short, different tendon ruptured, and the non-surgical solution is a special splint that I am supposed to wear 24/7 for 6 to 8 weeks. However, it was my impression that the fact that the injuries happened seven months ago probably means it will take longer to heal--or it won't heal at all.

So in the good news category, I don't have to spend weeks healing from an incision, and the bad news is that it might not become completely better. However, I will be content if the result is status quo because I have already discovered if I wear arthritis gloves and a an all-purpose splint on that finger, I can still type without much discomfort...and frankly I am pretty used to doing things with mild discomfort here and there.

Now, if I can just get the right fool pain to calm down (smile.)

But thanks for all your good wishes, and I am going to leave you with a photo of Leeza, a girl who knows how to relax.
