... i was in danger of loosing it about 20 years ago
...What happened and are you ok?
A. I am always in danger of loosing it.
B. Well, although I exchew all heavy house work, I've had Housemaid's Knee. And, although I never swing a racket, I've have had Tennis Elbow, Now, even though I don't own a gun I have Trigger Finger.
The hand surgeon discussed a range of options from "Suck It Up" to amputation, but I settled on a modest approach that starts with an injection of a steroid solution deep into the carpel tunnel surrounding the finger's ligament and applying an ice pack twice a day for a few weeks.
Icing the hand is presenting other minor problems - finding a small re-usable pack. At the moment I'm using a small blue ice pack designed for tiny coolers.
At its worst, it is an annoyance, so VixMom might save the prayer list for more needy folk.
