Today I had Minor surgery to correct a "Trigger Finger" ailment that has kept me grounded for awhile. I'v had it done previously to both Middle fingers (no comment) and it has been a quick and easy recovery. I was in and out of the outpatient surgery center within 2 hours which is really fast. Only about 30 mins in OR. |

you could have saved some dough and got a cool carved tiki finger in the process if you did it yourself. Good to know you are well - bring on the new carvings! (If they are red splattered, we know you didnt let the stitches heal long enough) |

Much aloha to you to focus on your creative hands. Now they can work as a team again. See if you can reconfigure the mouse to use as a left handed so you can use another finger to click. You may even consider switching hands with the mouse. I've done that because of wrist pain. It won't take longer than a week to get used to it. |
