Ailments!

I'm not one to talk about stuff I got wrong with me, but here goes! I have had surgery on my left wrist and carpal tunnel on my right hand and also trigger finger on the index finger and the next one on my right hand. The surgeries were successful and no problems
have reoccurred in those areas! But, here of late, I am expeirencing a new problem with my right thumb! Oh, yes, I do believe I have trigger thumb!!! My thumb locks up in the morning when I bend it and is painful early on in the morning but comes out of it as the day progresses ( thank God). I really think I will have to pay a visit to the surgeon who fixed my former problems! The only problem is trying to convince the workcomp crew that this problem is work related! I believe it is...but those people are not interested in what I think and I have a feeling they are going to oppose me and I will have a fight on my hands (literally)!
As Turkey Day approaches, the store will get busier each day...not something I really look forward to as people tend to get edgy trying to bring it all together for the holiday! I don't know what the big deal is....after all, its just a meal and all the hours of preparation and fussiness will culminate in everyone scarfing in all up in about 15 to 20 minutes and then going into a state of gluttonness oblivion for the rest of the day and picking over the turkey bones for the next two or three days until all traces of turkey and all other leftovers have exited the kitchen! Sorry for the tinge of holiday negativity! There are lots of good things about the celebration of Thanksgiving and I really should give them equal time.
Families unite on this day and that's good as long as everyone gets along really well...and stay sober! There's nothing worse than a holiday free-for-all...let's hope that no-one would have that happen on this day of thankfulness...........we need to be thankful for our family and friends and pray for peace in the world and in our house! I'm just thankful that I have a family and a house!
Holidays sometimes make me sad because I think of all the people who have nothing to look forward to on Thanksgiving and find it hard to find a reason to be thankful...the homeless, the sick and the elderly who may not have even a meal to sit down to or a friend or family member to sit across from. Do you know someone who may face the holiday alone? If so, make an effort to include that person in your holiday plans. We are fortunate to be able to have a nice meal and to enjoy the company of family and friends, but there's someone out there who isn't. Remember them next thrursday!
