Good morning to you Charles, how are you today ?

        It all depends on how you accept it and then consider the
        option.

        It is an accepted procedure and  I am considering it. It entails
        "shaving" off the nodule that built up on the tendon to allow it
        to slide unimpeded into the duct (?). When autumn comes maybe.
