Written for RDP, where segoil asks us
to get creative with the word “tonic”.
Thanks, Heather! Here’s where the prompt took me.
This morning I have an appointment with my hand doctor to discuss why …. after just one therapy session last week …. a previously unaffected finger is now unresponsive, immovable, and causing me pain.
Will I need specialized physical therapy or will there be yet another surgery in my near future?
Is it too early for a gin and tonic? I mean, seriously.

Gin and tonic was the first thing I thought of, too. Good luck today!! Use your good left hook if he doesn’t say the right thing.
