That's horrible! I've always been concerned about inheriting arthritis in my hands, shoulders and hips. My paternal grand-father has it pretty bad now. It's a shame, especially the pain in his hands, because he was an excellent mechanic and woodworker. Now he doesn't have the dexterity. My dad is starting to show signs of arthritic hands, and he too is a mechanic. I also do a LOT of work with my hands, so this is a concern. Of course, I don't do the same kind of work, but I still would go insane if I lost use of my hands!
It's like these conditions cause us to involuntarily lose touch with the world, in a way, and that's what upsets me about them.
You are good to look after your mom so well. I don't know if I could, sometimes.
