We have so many things common each other except for the illness. I am sorry you could not enjoy playing guitar any longer. I thought, in the joke, you meant you might find something good in the future so far as you are hopeful for that. Or more realistic idea? you story reminded me of Victor E Frankle, a psychopathologist in Austria, who had experienced being treated brutally at the Nazis camp during WWII. In his book, as you might know, he introduced the ultimate value in life in accepting own fate. He says it is better than producing or experiencing any thing in life. It might be out of the point in your case. Anyway, keep up your activity in profession, hobby and computering. See you again on the air and go on talking of our lives.Shin JA1NUThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01887476281297960362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-229771691402494724.post-73807377986364863362014-07-10T09:23:05.390+09:002014-07-10T09:23:05.390+09:00Thank you Shin for your blog and qso. My interest...Thank you Shin for your blog and qso. My interest was peaked after your comment about qrz.com and it led me here. I too am a semi retired physician, an anesthesiologist and pain medicine physician. I too went into medicine following a career in engineering and I too have suffered some infirmity with age including neuropathy which has reduced my CW ability and completely curtailed my activity as a guitarist. I I can't feel the strings, or the fretboard positioning and my grip does not have the finesse required to make music anymore. I always thought that would be how I spent my sunset exploring music. When I interview a patient and they ask how I am doing I respond I'm doing good, because there isn't any future in doing bad. Contained in the joke is the nugget of the truth. 73W9OYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02069143741132439373noreply@blogger.com
