Thanks for the advice guys, I appreciate it. Little-d, Well I can see I will get little sympathy from you, as my cast is a result of surgery on my pinky!

Your arm sounds maybe just a bit more painful! I hope your doing alright with it. I'm going to follow your advice and pick up some maxi-balls today.
Cayugad, Good idea on the swabbing. I read somewhere (probably here) about using the Windex Multi-purpose for swabbing, it has vinegar and no ammonia. I think I will give it a shot.
Thanks again for your help, I'll let you know how I make out.
Oh, don't tell anyone it's just my pinky. I'm trying to squeeze as much sympathy out of it as I can!
