Pfft! They both sound like quacks. Is that (sp) Dubachens Contracture thing I see on TV? Some doctors do corrections without surgery.

Trigger finger. Cortisone doesn't work for me and I don't know why.

I'd go for a third opinion if I were you.

Thanks! I checked on it this morning, some time. Soon, dont push it. Your hand needs to recover, so it wont be re-injured. You always managed to put your HA's characters so close to the character you want them to be.

Heheh, I do try.

I pushed it in the kitchen tonight. I asked my mom for help, and she never helped me. Making miniatures at dinner time is more important, I guess.

Is that her hobby?

Yes. She builds mini dollhouses that she gets from Amazon. She started doing them in February

You shouldn't be doing any thing in the kitchen.

Holding potatoes and peeling them (I'm right handed, but my stabilizing hand is left) makes my finger fat and makes under the digit on the palm, swollen. I know tomorrow my hand will hurt. I asked for help many times, and she wouldn't help me. But she expects me to drop what I'm doing right away if she tells me to do something.

She wasn't even gluing parts on the miniature. She was sitting here, talking to my brother on the phone. Kept telling me she can't come help.

Really? Ugh

He's been calling a lot more, ever since he wrecked his car. Don't call at dinner. My mom won't cook, so I have to

That's awful! You should just go out to eat and leave her to shift for herself.

I totally would, but I'm still not back at work yet and eating out is very expensive. We don't have a lot of selection here, either. I'd rather cook because restaurant food makes me bloated for a week. I do eat out, don't get me wrong, it's just that I'd rather make it if I can. Like veggies. My mom says you don't have to have veggies with every dinner. Yes you do! I ate better while I was living on my own, to be honest. TMI, but my diet is so poor I have a have a hard time going to the bathroom. I never had that problem before. I'm also not allowed to freeze food if I do make it.

Bake the potatoes next time, they want them different. They can do it themselves. Nothing but simple things, peanut butter sandwiches whatever takes less time and effort.

I always cut the eyes off the potatoes and the bad spots lol.

I'm so tired.

I'm sure you've noticed the pattern by now? When I'm happy, I'm more peppy and chatty. When things start to go south and when I'm starting to feel low or depressed, I don't talk a lot and become quiet.

Your mother won't let you freeze food?

Instant mash potatoes and they will learn to like it. Your need to go get some rest, and prop up your hand.

Well I am off to crochet until time change.

No lol. She says it takes up all the room in the freezer. I had an apartment sized fridge with a small freezer, yet I had enough pre-made, homemade meals to always last a month before I made new food. I don't know why she has to be like that.

I think a lot of it has to do with dad. He's very narcissistic and exist. He expects a women to do everything and serve him food. We always ate last. So she doesnt want to cook because she doesnt him to have food. He's capable of cooking. Chooses not to

They sound toxic. You need to get out of there.
