Hand buddy?

[deT notsuH]

My mom has a pinky finger that has a mind of its own. She went to her RD
who bounced her to a hand surgeon that said he *might* be able to fix it
surgically (read: cha-ching), but maybe not. In the meantime, he gave her
these little velcro straps that holds her pinky to her ring finger. Problem
solved. Ok, not so much. She has worn off all the velcro and wants new ones.
But she doesn't want to have to pay for a visit to the hand surgeon again.
Does anyone know where to buy these things? Supposedly they are called "hand
buddies." They're really soft material, and don't scratch. I haven't
found such material in a fabric store. But that is plan "B" in case someone
has other suggestions. Thanks, y'all.

If you can remain calm, you just don't have all the facts.

A hospital/sickroom supply store should have what you are looking for.

On a refill of something like that, you should be able to call the
surgeon's office and they can tell you where to get them. They may even
say to come by and pick some up. I've had that happen - no office visit
bill. Good luck.
