My hands

Apologies. I am digging up an old topic. I stopped bellringing at my local church back in May.

I am clearly not missed and I am glad, in a way, that I stopped going because it has meant that the condition of my hands has not deteriorated as quickly as it might have done. Had I kept going just to ring the same old stuff I would now feel that the past few months had been wasted. I am no worse off for not having been to ring. I still know the methods I know and, in fact, I do ring at one church where I play occasionally.

The middle finger of my left hand has arthritis and has started to be painful. I am anticipating not being able to play the organ in a few years time.
