Guess what I learned today?
I learned that the thumb, index and middle fingers of our hands are used for fine motor control but the ring and the little fingers are what provide the strength of the hand. For opening lids, shaking hands, holding books, water pitchers and turning doors handles.
How and where did I learn this?
I learned this from my favorite plastic surgeon, Dr. Z, when I went to talk to him today about the ring finger on my left hand. Which apparently has decided it was left out of the excitement with my thumb and wants some attention too.
Yes, I have developed trigger finger in an actual finger this time. Same symptoms, with the hurting and the snapping and the hurting and the swelling and did I mention the hurting? The routine is the same as well; Cortisone shots for a max of three times and then surgery if it doesn't quit acting out.
At least I know what is coming.
This is me, back on the hand circuit.

Oh no!! Sorry it's acting up again...
And FYI, I DO watch Hart of Dixie, and he really is quite pretty to look at...
It makes me wonder what would be left of your hand had you stayed in high end architecture. I'm already watching my hand tremble on a regular basis. You and I are a mess...
This is me once more and now I'm not jealous anymore. Sorry to hear that.
Wo :[ So sorry to hear your fingers are going indy on you. Could at least do it without bothering you so much in the process. How ruuuude.
At least this post didn't have pictures!! Sorry, and thank you!!
