As the title states I’ve got bad hands and my hobbies include Rock Climbing, Piano, Golf, and Running. Suffice to say I can’t do shit.
This was a tricky operation as where the bend was is also where all the nerves and blood vessels are housed so there is risk of termination (loss of) the finger, loss of sensation, blood supply etc.
It was elective but the pros outweigh the risks for me with my hobbies and how they help me stay not sad.
Before. You can also see the scar from my first operation on the ring finger. As well as lots of flaky skin from climbing.
rock climbing & piano ‽!
how can you do both?
With a strong backpack to help get the piano up the wall.
seriously
one needs nimble fingers to play the piano and climbing atrophies them
I should say I only play piano for myself as a kind of therapy, I suck and I’m not playing any Sonata’s.
My biggest issue is choosing hobbies that are all based on hands, when you’ve got Dupytren’s Contracture.
The other thing is my hobbies are key to me being happy, so this state my mood is falling through the floor. I know I just need to think of the benefit afterwards but right now I’m wallowing in self pity.
may the force be with you
They never said they were good at it.
You’ve heard me play haven’t you 😉
We seem to be located in the same county, we're both software devs... I wouldn't rule it out completely.
Seems we both blaze Mary Jane too. Probably got the same dealer 😂
My plug is my grow box 😂
You forgot he also plays golf and runs while rock climbing with a piano.
I do all this whilst working as a software developer too 😂. Had to set up work PC connected to a belay.
