Spring has sprung. Get out and shoot your Henry

I hurt my trigger finger.

Sit back and talk with friends. Same rules as before. Rule #1-Relax with friends on the front or back porch.
Rule #2-No Politics, religion or anything above a G level.

But I still feel your pain...and I know what you mean about feeling every heartbeat...when I did mine the surgeon said "make sure you manage your pain". What he meant was to stay ahead of it with the meds he gave me. I thought I'd tough it out the day after. HUGE MISTAKE. HUGE!!!

Heal up soon.

I'm just now getting to the point where I can type with it. It hurt but my real concern was a blood clot breaking loose.
