Very Interesting . . .

Last night I had a dream that involved my 'trigger finger' (see post from March 7).  And, this morning I received a comment on that post -- very interesting, indeed !!!

I clicked on the 'publish' link, only to find that there were several other comments and questions about the 'trigger finger' post -- sorry folks.  I haven't been paying attention.

So, to answer questions --

1.   I do not think that the yoga aggravates the finger at all.
2.  The finger was stiff for a few days after the cortisone shot, but I have not had one since and only occasionally does the finger do its 'tricks'.
3.  The one thing I do try to do is to keep that finger straight as much as possible - even when sleeping (I lay my hand flat under my pillow and - hopefully - keep it that way through the weight of my head during the night).

I learned from my physician that the use / abuse of the tendon running to that finger is what causes the inflammation and leads to the finger locking in a bent position for a second or two.

Apologies for neglecting my blog -- it's been a hectic year (see my post blasting those who use the excuse "I'm too busy").  My bad.

I will write more when there is time.  In the meantime, I am off to teach a class!!!

p.s.  remember 5 years ago -- the countdown to 60 years; well, as of 10 days ago, I am now on Medicare (65).  I am in better shape than when 60, feel better, do more, enjoy more.  Just keep on moving.

Have a great Monday (and week)!
