You Know You’ve Made It Big When…

October 11, 2009 – 2:00 am

Okay, so the picture may be a bit of an exaggeration. If you have been following this blog, then you know that I had an accident at work back in April. Today, I will be going in for Trigger Finger release surgery. Put simply, there is a knot in the tendon of my right index [...]
