Hi Dale,

 RH> Other than that, some hand
 RH> surgery is to be scheduled (on the right hand, I'm left
 RH> handed/ambidexterous) in the not too distant future.

 DS> Let's hope that it goes as well for you as Gail's surgery went a month
 DS> ago.  She has had carpel tunnel for years and it had gotten bad enough
 DS> that not only were her fingers numb, she was in constant pain.
 DS> Fifteen minutes of out patient surgery with one opening and she was
 DS> pain free
 DS> even in the recovery room.  Just how much sensation returns in the
 DS> fingers remains to be seen.

I had that with my left hand in conjunction with some other surgery on
the wrist in 2012. I'd not realised how bad it had gotten until I had to
do a simple hand stitching mending job a few days before the surgery.
The hand started hurting like (all get out), much improved a few days
later by a simple surgery. No problems since.

The right hand will get one, maybe 2 new knuckles (middle for sure,
maybe ring fingers) on Jan. 10. After I heal from that, the tendon on
the middle finger will be put back in place. Dr. can't do both at the
same time because I need immediate therapy for the knuckles but have to
have the hand immobilised for 4 weeks after the tendon work.


 DS> We had a couple of days with low temps below 10F, and now the temp is
 DS> 50F at midnight.  No snow to speak of yet (one small flurry that was
 DS> gone before we got up).

We've not had so much as a flurry. Got cold enough over Christmas eve
day, Christmas day & Boxing day but not enough moisture in the air for
snow.

That looks like something to try for a pot luck. We have a pot luck with
the American Legion/Auxillary 2 days after the surgery; told Steve we
might just pick up a commercial fruit or veggie tray.
