Here We Go Again

I had a diagnosis of “trigger finger” about three years ago. It was the middle finger of my left hand, and it is caused by gripping. It causes the joint to lock, and you have to forcibly straighten it to get it to unlock. I had three steroid shots into the tendon sheath before it finally went away. The next step would have been surgery to open the sheath, but I was able to avoid it. Now I have it in my right hand. ☹️ 

I didn’t wait as long this time since I knew what it was. I went to the orthopedic surgeon yesterday and got my steroid shot. 

If you think that sounds painful, you would be right. It’s still less painful than the joint locking up though. I’m hoping I can get by with one shot this time. I also hope I can avoid surgery. I had tendon repair surgery on my right thumb several years ago, and it was done in the doctor’s office with a local anesthetic. Even though I was awake, I didn’t watch. That kind of stuff makes me nauseous. The recovery took a few weeks, and I don’t want that again. I need my right hand!

We had an Easter egg hunt at church yesterday and I took a few pictures. 

The teens hid the eggs. Notice the ones stuck in the fence! That made me laugh. It was so nice to see so many kiddos at church. I went to my daughter’s house for dinner. I cooked the food and took it. Ham, deviled eggs, scalloped potatoes, and brownies.  My mom brought some green beans. And, I got all the Easter baskets delivered. 

I am a hostess for quilt guild Thursday morning, and I’m hosting Bunco on Thursday evening. I’m going to do cake and also tortilla chips and queso for quilt guild. I looked yesterday for my little crockpot (for the queso), and I can’t find it. Either I have misplaced it or left it somewhere. Hmmmm. I went to Walmart, and they had them for a little less than $10. 

Unfortunately, the first Walmart I went to was sold out, and I had to drive across town to get one. For $10, if I accidentally leave it somewhere, it won’t be a large loss. I was planning to make ceaser chicken wraps for bunco, but I have some leftover ham to use, so I think I will make ham and Swiss quiches. Only 12 people are coming so two quiches should be enough. I’ll also fix a salad and some dessert. I need a few appetizers, but I will think of something.

I worked all morning, and after all the doctor stuff and the Walmart runs, I was so tired. I came home and did nothing except this. 

A generous pour of Sauvignon blanc.
