Long time, no update!

Been a hell of a year so far…we moved offices after the fire in December, and that went fairly well. Been working my butt off at work trying to get caught up…so much so that it’s pretty much been all I do anymore.

Except for getting older and more decrepit. A couple of weeks ago, I noticed this bizarre knot on the knuckle of my right hand. A visit to the Dr. later and BAM: surgery.

So now, two weeks to the day after the surgery, I can only use my thumb and pointer finger effectively. Makes typing hell, and even the simplest tasks becomes insanely convoluted…I can’t imagine the hell an amputee has.

Anyway, if you like gross pictures, have a look.

Turns out that Arnie was right: it’s not a tumah, but merely a cyst that overcome the sheath of my knuckles tendons.

In other news, it was discovered during the pre-op that my blood pressure was amazingly and disturbingly off the charts…at the time of the pre-op, it was 171/121. We watched it over the weekend, and it stayed about the same for 4 days…the afternoon of my surgery though, I went to my Docs and got onto some prescribed stuff; since then, I am at a much more reasonable 140/85 typically. Yay genetics (and being 25 lbs overweight and old)!!!

Getting old, my friends, sucks.
