It’s a good thing. I was taught
to do that by my father when I was 9 years old and now I really understand the importance of proficiency with both hands 🙌. Get well soon!
Minor finger surgery this week
For years, I have had an off an on trigger finger on my right hand. But for these past 2 years straight, the finger locked up every time I closed my hand. Why did I wait so long to fix it? Because I am stupid, that is why. Simple surgery, but unfortunatel...
The most important thing ..
... you got it fixed ! Indeed, a month might seem like eternity, especially these days :-( Filip
Yes, absolutely. I hope for many more years ahead
It will be nice for the finger to move correctly again!
You are the best. I am doing my best to enact your advice...
It was due time to try this one again! ...
Yes Sir. I should be old enough now to know this.
Many years ago, after cracking a rib, I got through 3 months and it felt great. I thought "no restrictions", even though the doctor said to wait longer. I did a light workout, and then another, without issues. The 3rd time I started pushing, and bam, rese...
Hello dear Michael! You did well in solving this problem now specially considering it has been with you for so long. (And... the trigger finger is a very important one for us shooters!!)
I wish you´ll have a fast recovery. Get well soon dear Michael! Best cordial regards, Abel
Yes, it is!! Fortunately, it is the right hand...
And I primarily shoot with the left. So the house security is still fully operational ;-) I still owe you a good Model 29 post, and I will get to it ASAP! Thanks for the kind words, Abel.
Hello dear Michael! Thank you for your kind answer.
I see your home keeps being safe! Wishing you’ll recover fast and fully operational with both hands soon. I look forward to your Model 29 post but please get well first my friend! A big hug for you! Abel
Thanks Bill. All things considered, it was a straight forward surgery, with a great result expected.
So many health issues are more serious. But I count my blessings and thank God for a successful procedure and expected outcome. Appreciate your support my Friend!
I'm starting to have occasional triggering of the 4th finger on my left hand at night. After being up for a while it goes away. But its the arthritis between my thumb's metacarpal and my wrist
that's really starting to compromise ability to ride my bikes and motorcycle that really sucks. We're just like watches or cars, eventually parts start to wear out. Hope your finger is back to normal soon!
Keep an eye on it and don't wait as long as I did if you need a procedure
They can offer a cortisone shot, and for some people it calms the issue and surgery is not needed. Mine has been problematic too long, so we went straight for the more predictable solution.
That's solid advice on trigger finger. My 1st CMC arthritis is a different matter. Finally there's a good surgical procedure for it that is like a mini hip replacement but not many
hand surgeons are doing it yet. And recovery is a long process with lots of PT needed. The old surgical fix is good for pain reduction but you lose strength and some function. After 45 years of riding sport bikes I suppose I could give that up but I'm not...
Thanks, Marc. I will miss the upper body exercise for a while, but can still work the lower and cardio.
That mental release from exercise is something we depend on when we are in a routine. I'll keep it going as best as possible!
I wish you a speedy recovery and hope you are well supported
and that your Lorige watch on your wrist is giving you good spirit! Best, Emmanuel
The Lorige is helping! And it was easy to clasp on after getting home.
The owner of Lorige saw this photo and offered me long straps to fit over the temp cast!! Talk about customer service!
Fortunately, I gave up foul language many months ago
Reading the bible has really changed me. I can't read and believe and not put into practice the countless lessons. Growing up Italian in Boston... well let's just say it is a major discipline to give up swearing, and a continued work-in-progress!
Thanks, Filip. Feeling better already.
But man is the finger stiff. It will be some time to regain the full mobility, but I am very confident it will return to normal.
It’s a good thing. I was taught
to do that by my father when I was 9 years old and now I really understand the importance of proficiency with both hands 🙌. Get well soon!
You never know what situation might arise.
Good to be in practice. At my local range, I always seem to end up next to the guy shooting an AR15, and occasionally an AR10... it is extremely unnerving. I understand if you need to check function or ammo cycling, but most of these guys are popped up on...
