Scott, I had a trigger finger on my right hand and it drove me crazy ( actually not a drive, but a put!)
I had surgery and it was a short recovery time, but a thumb is the most important digit we have, I will pray for a short recovery time for you, you are needed on this forum and have many friends here !

Who am I ?, nobody knows, since I read daily since 2003, but do not "post" at all!
