    Hi Shawn,


    I'm the one that usually does them, and, for the most part, it's not
    a problem.

    That's one good thing when the kids move out, dishes become a chore
    that doesn't take as long. :)

    Unless I cook up a really fancy meal. I can put a lot of the prep stuff
    into the dishwasher but not knives, pots & pans, my glass measuring cup
    and other oddiments.


    and other such stuff. Steve always washes up the cast iron.

    I do the cast iron but it's getting to the point I won't be able to
    much longer as my hands are no longer working well enough to do much.
    I had a hard time playing cards Saturday when we had company over.

    Not fun--arthritis? Back in 1992 I broke (shattered the left) radius
    bone in both wrists. I broke my left elbow in 2001, right hand middle
    finger a couple of years ago. They all have hardware in them; I can
    still use them but not as good as they once were. If I'm doing something
    that needs constant stirring, I'll switch off hands from time to time
    until it is done. Other little things here & there help also.

    Hi Ruth,
    On <Tue, 10 Mar 25>, you wrote me:

    That plus carpal tunnel or RSI something like that. As a guitar player
    and wood carver and computer nerd my hands have taken a beating over the
    years. I can't play guitar or carve much anymore, but I still think I
    am normal. :)

    Yes that sounds painful for sure. I just plug along and hope for the best.

    I gave up the guitar after college--had other things on my plate at the
    time. It was always a stretch for some of the chords anyway, as my hands
    are small.

    Same here. If I'm going to be doing something that uses the left wrist a
    lot (hand sewing in particular) I'll put on a soft brace. Mixed up a
    quadruple batch of cornbread (2 13x9 pans) this morning for Steve to
    take over for the American Legion group supper tomorrow night. So far no problem but I may slip on the brace before sitting down at the sewing
    machine in a bit.
