Old Man Injury Alert

This morning as I started getting my lunch together, I noticed that grabbing anything with my left hand was somewhat difficult. For some reason, my left index finger was in considerable pain. I didn’t think much of it at the time though as random shooting pains throughout my body have become the norm. But a few seconds later, I noticed the pain again. From then until now, the finger has hurt sporadically, no rhyme or reason. This is among a handful of recent injuries I’ve picked up while engaged in the violent activity of - sleeping.

While all fingers certainly are important, my left index finger is especially important in golf as it is used to interlock my fingers, making for a secure golf grip. I don’t want to head out for my first round and let a club fly, accidentally burying it in someone’s back. I’d have to explain that I can’t grip the club because “I injured my finger while…sleeping”.
