Sadly he didn't realize you weren't joking.

Seriously.

There is nothing else they can do for your condition other than surgery??

Sadly, no. The only other option, cortizone shots directly into the tendon sheaths, has already been attempted on the other fingers, and on one that needs working on now. Sometimes the shots work, and actually did work on my left thumb (so far). But sometimes the shots do nothing, or make it worse over time, and that'* the gamble.

What really sucks is that I won't be able to do much at SEBF this year at all, wrenching wise. Unless someone keeps a pot of near-boiling water nearby to soak my hands with to loosen the knots a bit

Alright guys...tomorrow is the day. So for a few days, I'll be absent from here.

Wish me luck!
