Awesome!!! Thank you for posting the Hamburger Helper hands – they made me laugh out loud, very loud. Still laughing as I comment here. Thank you for sharing your sense of humour with all of us – there something ironically funny about those hands and I hope your hands feel better soon.

Ah, the memories of those ridiculous commercials. That was ridiculous, wasn’t it?

Sorry to hear your hands are swelling up. Hopefully, the therapy helped you.

I am glad you can still maintain your sense of humor throughout all this. I blogged about that earlier – well mostly about laughing about ourselves.

Actually …. the movie I was remembering was “The Beast With Five Fingers,” with Peter Lorre, made in 1946. It was in black and white, and scared the daylights out of me when I was a kid… Gosh, I love Wikipedia. ;o)

Oh, gosh. I must’ve been overseas when that particular commercial was on TV. Oh, my. But you know, the little “Helping Hand” guy was sorta cute, with that big red nose … It’s a much better image for swollen, achy hands than my own “image,” which is of The Hand. You know, the one from the silly, scary old Michael Caine flick of the same name, which was about his un-dead, crawling, spidery, disembodied hand? Urk.

Lana writes today on her blog, Living It, Loving It, about having a sense of humor while coping with RA and FMS. She got me started chuckling this morning, as I glared at my sore hands and worritted over my stiff, twingy hips. You’ve made me laugh out loud. Thank you, RA Guy! And I hope your Helping Hands feel a lot better soon!

I so know where you are coming from RA Guy, but I call them my boxing glove hands!, you are so lucky to have 90 mins of physical therapy as in the UK we only get 30 mins and that’s if we are lucky!!
