for it to go away. The only way it can be worse is to not realize you have it and then go to the bathroom. I have become somewhat adept at identifying it and never work in our garden without gloves.
I remember the blisters between fingers when I was in the 3rd grade. And you're right that by the time it gets that far it's not an itchy rash, it's a nagging pain. I hope that you have someone to give you a hug now and then because hugs can be magical on pain.
Friends have suggested the same, Bruce, but honestly I’m a barefoot, hands in the dirt kind of gardener. I’m also a stubborn old you-know-what and unlikely to change much. Thank you for reading my ravings though. P.S. Able to finger type with left hand on phone.
It does take a long time

Thank you, Don. Lots of huggers available but right now it might be painful? Taking it one day at a time.
Hey Katharine look on the bright side. Didn't Proust write his whole oeuvre in bed?? : ) Good luck get better soon.
Thanks, Richard. I had never heard that. Gives new meaning to “proustian” . . .
Nature may be the best of all religions. So, why not? Go ahead...
And now that I’ve read your memoir I know that you could answer any religious questions. Thanks, Gary.
You’re welcome, Katherine. The answer is most often in the question. Believing in goodness and grace is fine. Doing goodness with grace even better.
