... after all, you only got three weeks or so to run tagless.

Maybe I’ll try go Billy Graham and do mega church of course with CDL truck parking.

Donate $1000 bucks you’ll get a reserved pull through slot to park the rig.

Of course I’ll have showers fuel available I’ll charge em shower oh and truck drivers gift shop with restaurant.

With cheap shit in gift shop from China I’ll have China pay the tariffs cost.

To take it off and keep it in the drawer. So I know how you feel.

I have a chain I haven’t taken off in a decade.

I was proud of my mom for going to college in the 30s leaving her home as a teenager. They only got to go home for Christmas and she was just across Chesapeake Bay.

We had a coworker who was a little off center. A lady asked him if he could get a ring off of her swollen finger. He said “Sure. Did ya bring it with ya?”

"Did you bring it with you?"

from the show "Taxi."

“Cause ya got fat fingers.”

Now that sounds like Louie De Palma.

Sorry. Guess I'm feeling a little nostalgic for classic TV

in 2019, I took my wedding ring off, after my finger started swelling. I have a small tray on my dresser with my ring, my husband's ring and his keys.
I've got a large silver ring I wear once in awhile if I feel like wearing jewelry. It's showy and keeps the finger from bending

It lets you open the ring up, slide it down over an enlarged knuckle, and then close it up.

used by medical staff.

Just couldn't make it work.

But I guess that your issue was pretty bad.

❤️

for you.

WINDEX!!! I learned that from a nurse!

On two of my attempts to get it off, she was on the couch right next to me.
She knew this last resort was the only option.
I'll get it repaired & resized in a couple weeks. My MRIs will be behind me by then.

Didn’t get the ring off fast enough and the finger started swelling. Ended up at a jewelry store also.

Need this. Ring has been on my finger for 63 years and is getting tight. Didn't know of that service

Water to get it off yourself. It’s really painful to do this and it pretty much destroys your ring although it sounds like the OP found a jeweler who is willing to work with what’s left. When I’ve witnessed this being done before, the person’s finger turned colors that fingers are not supposed to be while we live.

Actually, very painful. I’m glad they did that for you for free. It would be kind of mean to charge to do that humanitarian work. I’m glad you’ll work with him in the future for the resize.

I won't tell you where my ring is.

We carry a similar tool in the ambulance to remove rings if necessary and if there’s no other way

I can see why EMTs would carry them.
I wasn't in any pain, because the ring still fit ok where it normally sits.
Getting it to the knuckle was a non-starter, though. The chronic tendinitis got me.
