Hey Stephen...

Does holding the finger under the Ha scope eyepiece count as red right...should in my books :lol:

How did you break it...I missed any mention if it was made earlier.

Get well.

According to the US military via darpa research, red light therapy will accelerate your bone healing.

Stay away from "that" downtown district! :ohmy:

Poor Stephen, I've never broken a bone but I can imagine it's terribly painful. Which is more painful to you though, the finger or not being able to type?

Apollo, you are truly outstanding in many ways :)

Regards
Alexandra

"Built a Darpa cloth before they started the research in 1999."

Wonder if that'd help with arthritis? Had to give up beekeeping when moving to this retirement community (some researchers claim bee stings help ease the pain of arthritis).

Go easy on that finger Stephen to speed recovery!

Hi Stephen

wish you get soon better. Instead of the fingers, just use the toes. It works, but you got to get used to it and don't forget to cut the toenails ;-)

Oh man Walther. You put this image in my head of our Redneck, tattooed, big bear trying to play his guitar with his feet. You know he has to try it now! :lol: :side:

(Why is Dueling Banjos and the words, "Squeal Like a Pig!" reverberate in my head?)

Sorry to hear. about your digit.
Bring down the swelling regularly (cooling) and it will heal much-much quicker.
