I'm close enough to Gene's age and have known him long enough I get
the right to rap his knuckles. Hm, in about a year that advances a
step to rap his knuckles with an iron bar?

Ouch, that would hurt my arthritic joints something terrible. Can it wait till
I've had a chance to hit my thumbs with another cortisone shot? On second
thought, the iron bar is less painful in the short term. The last time I
checked, they wanted to do surgery at $5k per thumb and I said how about
cortisone? He said then (15 years ago) that it was $60 a shot, and it would
hurt like hell. He was right on both counts, but that thumb still works
today. Now its the other ones turn I guess. :)
hmm. hurt like hell? I think that's very Dr. specific. I got a shot that
was eased in slowly, front loaded with lidocane, back loaded with
cortisone. It was almost painless, the pain I was experiencing before
the shot disappeared almost immediately due to the lidocane, and then
disappeared in a more ongoing basis due to the cortisone. Magic.
