My Days of Hitchhiking are Over

…At least for a while.

Today, I made an appointment with a hand and wrist doctor for pain I’m having in my right thumb.  As a pianist/organist/bell ringer/balalaika-ist this isn’t a good place to have pain.

I even have a handle on my coffee cup that’s giving me pain so I’ll have to drink left-handed for a while.

I do have a good brace for now.  Years ago with my knee issues, I discovered BioSkin braces for people –

like me who are allergic to neoprene among other things.

These are the times of doctors – dentist on Friday, dermatologist on Wednesday. hand/wrist next Friday.  Getting old is the pits!

I know what the first 2 do but have no idea about the H/W doctor.  X-rays?  cortisone shots?  Nothing – we’ll watch it and see what happens? Some dread thing I can’t even imagine?

Looking at past posts in this blog, I found that thumb issues have been going on since 2018 but I guess that what the ER did then worked until now!
