Fingers

How we take our fingers for granted, but never again. How does one compensate without the use of a finger, more specifically a tendon. Well, I am finding out, not complaining mind you, just experiencing.

Then, as plans start to grow and developa little more, stretching towards goals,it happens. Another pothole, if you will. All of a sudden on Memorial Day a sharp pain began, then intensified in my right hand affecting the use of my pinkie finger and ring finger and typing is not a fun passtime anymore. My wrist is involved, too, so I can't rotate it. Try typing using your left hand and only the thumb and first two fingers of the right hand. I can be messy.

I sent Moe an email the other day and with all the errors, it ended up in her junk mail. LOL

So, the deal is, of course, more surgery I am so wanting to be finished with surgeries, invasive procedures that cause near death experiences (sepsis), and replacing knee replacements.

My goal for the summer: simple. Enjoy the weather, be with family, and ride the motorcycle on occasion.

Now I will find out what the ortho hand specialist will say next week.

Oh, and I am still getting one more round of iron infusion, thanks to that doctor in Portland who carelessly introduced that bacteria into my blood stream, gram negative bacteria; sepsis that has a 30% mortality rate in seniors.

Blah, blah, blah, I have whined enough.

Bring on the sun. Moe sent me a card today that lights up my life with the brilliance of her love for her mom.
