Well Randy, the doctor said that I actually have a couple of things going on with my hand. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" /> The locking finger is referred to as "trigger finger", resulting from inflammation, and arthritis. He gave me a cortisone shot at the base of my finger (OUCH! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />) as a first step. If that hasn't helped in six weeks, surgery may follow.

I received a new bottle of higher dose thyroid pills in the mail, and have another follow up visit the end of next month.

A bit of good news is that my one dog does NOT have a cancerous tumor in his mouth, but the surgery to remove the built up tissue growth will cost me the equivalent of a couple of Busse knives. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />
