Crap

Post by FM4SOLO »

Went to the Dr for my arthritis today, Xrays confirm unrepairable degradation to both shoulders and the left hand. Short term, continued slow this season, long term, I have to quit driving the Vee to slow the damage. I guess it's up to my son to keep it in play. DAMN, DAMN, DAMN.

Sorry to hear that, Charles. I have arthritis in my neck and upper back, but it is minor at this time.

That is bad news Charles. 2nd opinion may be in order?

One of our local club's senior members (the late Jerry Bowden) suffered with severe arthritis. It forced him to sell his two Formula Fords, and he ultimately wound up in a CP car that was more comfortable for him to drive. I'm sure that he would have rather been in a F-Ford than a fendered car, but at least he could continue to participate in the sport that he loved.

Hopefully, your doctor caught your problem before too much damage was done, and you'll also be able to find a way to continue participating in autocross events in a way that won't aggravate the situation down the road.....
