The joint at the base of my thumb started telling me it's 60 years old. I stopped being able to open jars easily last year and would like to get my grip strength back.
- jMyles 9mo ago> The joint at the base of my thumb started telling me it's 60 years old This is my biggest apprehension. I've become quite a good guitarist, and I know that can't last forever. Getting my accomplishments in while I can.
- jacquesm 9mo agoYou better. I have an uncle who was a very accomplished pianist and who can't play anymore due to arthritis. Play the paint off it while you can.

- fallinghawks 9mo agoIronically, last year i decided to relearn piano after some 40 years. Learned one piece (a pretty good one, fortunately) and a once a day play triggered it. So. It's more like once every 2-3 weeks now, not long enough to forget, but long enough to keep the thumb feeling all right.
- circlefavshape 9mo agoYour accomplishments? For me playing music is for joy, not for status
- Brian_K_White 9mo ago1: They didn't say anything about status. 2: Developing a capacity or facility is an accomplishment regardless what purpose it's put to. Trying to tell someone they don't have the right attitude based on something they didn't even say was an interesting way to profess joy.
