Now it's arthritis, dammit

[cariad]

G'day from downunder, friends and others,

At 75 I can look back on 55 years of good life made possible by the music industry and my bass (with some help from my voice), and I'm grateful to our profession for the good times, bad times, exciting and boring times it's given me.

Now retired from active work, I still like to keep my fingers and mind active but lately I find I can do less and less due to arthritis in my hands (particularly the thumbs). Does anyone have any suggestions of how to relieve the pain and frustration?

Cheers all,
John (Cariad)
