Hey Ya'll,
Well, I have been a bad girl again! It has been so long since I have made a post. But so much has been happening that I just haven't had the time. However, I do want to make this quick post to let you know that I am planning on changing my Blog. I feel that it is no longer appropriate to call myself the Hawaii Bound Bandster anymore, since I no longer have the Band! So I am planning on making a new Blog that is all about my life....Basically what I have been posting about for some time now anyway. Just under a different Blog address and name! When I do, I will post a link to my new Blog here on my current site. I am hopeful that at least some of you will want to continue to follow me and my everyday life, such as it is! LOL
The photo above shows my Hand and how my pinkie Finger has changed. I now have Osteoarthritis in my Hands, and this is the most that I can straighten my Finger out now, and I can feel other Fingers starting to develop the Nodes too. There is a Node at the top of the Pinkie joint which is causing it to bend like it does, and apparently there isn't anything that can be done about it. I just hope that it doesn't get so bad that I cannot Paint or crochet anymore! So saying this....I will leave for now. I will start my new Blog soon!! I promise!!
Aloha My Friends.... :)

My right little finger is very similar to yours! I hate the way it hinders me typing or writing, and on the weekend I discovered a new agony - when a man at a bbq I went to shook my hand very firmly and I nearly passed out! Couldn't say anything though. So it's osteoarthritis then... Used to like my hands, but I don't any more.
How are you feeling?

I am sorry to hear about your hands Debi. I also have arthritis in my hands but so far they don't look any different. I hope you can find some relief from the pain. Looking forward to your new blog. I haven't posted on my blog in months and find that I seldom come back here to read the blogs like I used to. I do miss keeping up with what everyone is doing though. I didn't know you had your band removed. I will have to look back to your past posts. I also had mine out last October and have been struggling ever since with weight gain. Ugh!! So frustrating. Take care and I will check back to see how you are.
Caroline - Yes, my Fingers are being hit by Osteoarthritis, but it could also have been Rheumatoid Arthritis. Luckily we ruled out the more serious Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). So you may want to have your checked out too.
Kathy - So glad to hear from you! Yes, my Band slipped, so we had it removed. Good thing too, as the Surgeon said that it was pretty tight, and even more of the lower portion of my Stomach had slipped through since we had diagnosed it! Luckily, my problem wasn't nearly as bad as yours. We caught mine earlier on. I am still deliberating whether or not I want to do further Bariatric Surgery in the future. And yes, I have gained back most of the weight that I lost with the Band....
I will start my new Blog soon....
