Gaaaaah.

I’ve been forced to postpone a performance scheduled for later in February due to the arthritis in my hands.

I’m going to an open mic tonight, and I’ll bring my guitar; but I’m reserving the right to sit out if my hands feel too painful to go on.

I’ve accepted an invite to be the Songleader at Camp Schechter in early March, but I don’t know if I need to line up a sub. It all depends on how my hands feel, and on what the orthopedist says next week.

The challenge is consistency. Things are changing every other day; some days my hands feel well enough to do things and other days (like today) they are hurting all day long. Maybe I can’t have consistency, but it would sure make things easier to forecast.

Frustrating.
