Love the stories with Mr wing in them.i am 80 years I have read your posts every day and enjoy them i share many of your physical problems and symphasize
Love your spring-like pics. Up here in the Bay Area it was a winter morning. 48 degrees and as I walked the dog the deciduous trees really stood out in their bareness amongst all the evergreens.
I wish we had more evergreens. We used to have a huge Torrey Pine in our front yard, but it started to lean, tear up the sidewalk and driveway, and become a hazard to the house (and of course would be a terrible fire hazard.) Most of the"ever green" are palm trees and they just don't do it!
I could probably use a supportive half-glove for my right hand (particularly the thumb) and wrist. Too many decades of typing and space bar.
The fingertips have to be free and the wrist support needs to not go too far up. But I haven't found a suitable one.
As many of us here seem to have similar needs, has anyone found a solution? The joints themselves have normal range of motion; they just don't like doing it as much!
You might as well call me Snap, Crackle, and Pop at this point. And I agree with Cheryl, it's been much colder here than I prefer.
Even before the problem with my tendons, I started using compression gloves, brand Vive, which I found on Amazon when typing. They slow range of movement just enough to help me not tire out my hands, keep circulation good, just as with compression socks. But when I first hurt the middle finger tendons, my doctor suggested I get a finger splint, and I got ones from Promifun, the have a brace (with a strap, that goes to mid palm with another strap around a finger. But it made it difficult to type because brace kept the finger straight. So, I turned it upside down, so the two straps are a the bottom of hand, the brace lets me curve my fingers to type. If you want to email me (replay to the newsletter email) I can show you photo of what it looks like. (smile.)

The tree on the right looks like a Catalpa . . . Does it have a terrific fragrance?
Not that I noticed.

Thanks! Ooh, they have one with 3 adjustable straps. Ordered!
I tried those in two sizes, but if they were small enough to support the wrist, they cut off the circulation in all the fingers. Sigh.
Oh, my goodness! What a joy to see those trees living here in central Oregon!
