All that plus arthritis

 Here is a medical update you did not ask for. The hand doctor injected my recalcitrant finger with a dose of cortisone this morning. I should know in the coming days if that injection heals my trigger finger/tendonitis or if I need surgery. The good doc says injections work 75% of the time. 

My hand is still a little numb, so mouse handling is a bit sketchy right now.

Good luck with that, Joe.
My sister just got injections in both knees. So far, so good.

My wife got that done to her trigger finger a few years ago, and so far as I know the symptoms have not returned.

She's also had cortisone in her knee in the last six months. Now that may need to be repeated.

Good luck. I got tendonitis in my middle finger during the No Kings protests.

Had this on ring finger. Doctor met me at hospital ER room and put a couple shots in and slice and snip. Two stitches and back to work. Took a hour out of my day. Never a problem since. It's been at 15 years and no scar remains. Good luck cause it's easy surgery
