llywelaGetting a wee bit fed up, since my gammy little finger has been playing up since the middle of last week, and it makes it hard to type properly.
It sounds pathetic to whinge about a pinky finger pain, but defects come in all shapes and sizes, and this is mine. Both my smallest fingers are crooked, born that way. Genetic, rather than an actual birth defect, although I'm the first person to have it for a couple of generations. The middle bone in each little finger is the wrong shape, which causes the top bone to point inward at the fourth finger instead of being straight. This also causes the joints to rub horribly, with an effect not unlike arthritis. The right hand is worse, since that is my writing hand, and that is the one playing up right now. It hurts. And that makes me cross.
I think it is the change in the weather that's doing it. It has become very cold the last few days. So, I've strapped the finger up and am having a bit of a moan about it.
