Thread Name: BS: Boring in Guam
Subject: RE: BS: Boring in Guam
I just posted this in the music section. I thought it might be useful here.
Three years ago I had a stroke that affected my right side. A few years ago I had a carpal tunnel release on my left arm. I'd waited too long on the carpal tunnel release and the nerve was damaged beyond hope.
I have two working fingers, index and middle, as well as my thumb on my left hand. My right hand is clumsy and slow. Typing is a pain and I spend as much time correcting typos and typing.
Result: I cannot play my guitars, or my pennywhistle, and my efforts to learn the violin are done.
But I want to play music. I'm thinking of getting a mountain dulcimer. With what manual dexterity I have left do you think I can make that work? Can you suggest another instrument?
