I had very minor surgery on my right middle finger and ended up with a HUGE bandage!! I cannot knit and it is very difficult to type! I hope to have a simple splint on Monday. The initial numbing agent is wearing off…!!
PS — I had a mucous cyst on the first joint of my middle finger – caused by arthritis. The only way to remove these is surgery. The cyst fills up with synovial fluid and is extremely painful, so you have to get rid of it!!
Oh no!!!
That looks painful ; (

Hope you’re back to typing and knitting soon – and in the meantime have plenty of TLC.

So sorry. Can you use the Dictation feature on your computer? Never tried it myself or even know whether it’s practical, but you might give it a try. Unfortunately I don’t think they have an automatic knitting feature. At least it’s temporary, thank Goodness. Chloe

Wishing you fast healing and no pain or painkillers of your preference that work well! Thanks for typing this note!

Oh no, hope it feels better soon. For some of us that is a VERY important finger.
