This has arrived from Amazon ,nice to look at,but for arthritic hands the clasp was so difficult to use.....lots of magnets so here it is....

And now I have suffered a hammer little finger of the right hand,got an appointment with the Ortho surgeon later this month

You're becoming a glutton for punishment Jann ...... seriously though, it's hell when thr fingers don't work as well as we'd like

Wrist was done.....

....Not a very good experience...was there at 12noon as the letter stated,eventually went down to Theatre at 4.30,was hanging about all that time ,however the procedure went very well albeit the pain was extruciating the surgeon and his staff were all lovely to me,taken back onto the Ward where I was given coffee and toast,was discharged after four blood pressure tests at 6.15,see the surgeon in a few weeks,so all in all I am glad it's all over,just hopes it works
