Yeah, my RA came about as a rare “sudden and severe” case. It was like overnight I couldn’t play a simple chord or lead. Fifty years of daily play’n suddenly denied has been a difficult pill to swallow. It has been a year and a half so I am kinda resigned to let it be a thing of the past now. From what I can tell you and I are a lot a like in that we like to create using various methods, materials and disciplines. Lol, in the dark side of my sixties now, I’ve amassed quite a collection of tools to those ends with a program of tool of the day, tool of the week, tool of the month and tool of the year purchases. With that I have plenty of other skills to try to maintain to fulfill that need to create without try’n to learn a new one. Maybe a lap steel will come into play as I cripple up more, but for now I need to keep the other parts of me active in the ways that I still can. It was bad enough before, but with RA there’s only so much time in a day. It is what it is, I miss it terribly, but there is plenty of joy to be found elsewhere and otherwise. God gives us many ways to enjoy life if we open our eyes to them.
