Blanket Disclaimer: This is not a firearms-related thread. Please, let's keep it that way. My reference is to a medical condition.
Gents:
I haven't posted much lately, for a variety of reasons, but I've been lurking and keeping abreast of the doings of members old and new. With the prospect of a great deal of time on my hands, I suspect I'll be dropping in more regularly...
Tomorrow, I'll be undergoing surgery for trigger finger on my right (dominant) hand. Naturally, I'm a bit apprehensive, moreover, a bit disappointed: It's just shy of two years that I've been straight-shaving daily, and it looks as if that run will be interrupted for some time. Of course, there are a host of other things I generally do right-handed, so it's going to be an interesting trial. (Just how well I can operate a stick-shift with a bandaged hand remains to be seen...)
So...Has anyone else undergone this procedure? I confident in the surgeon, but he's a bit glib on recovery time. My sense from online discussion is that "recovery" means different things to different people: For some, it means the ability to hold a telephone or use a knife and fork. For me, it means all of the above, as well as being able to use hand tools, do housework, lift a reasonable load (say 50 lbs.,) and ride my bike daily. And, of course, strop and shave.
Any feedback or experience shared would be appreciated...For now, I've dusted off the HD, and loaded up a fresh Feather, and steeled myself for a few weeks of sloppy, left-handed shaves...
