Sorry to hear that Bill. Your son is so lucky as that is really low mileage. And people think my 84 Toyota is low with 125,000 original miles. If I may ask, why did you have to give up driving?Gave up 76 years of driving today. Gave our 2013 Malibu with 9,971 actual miles to our son.
Ouch!!!!!!!!!!Hope there is something that you can take for the pain.I set aside most of the afternoon, and all of this evening, to do some modelling, but the RA has decided to go into 'flare up', with swollen and extremely painful wrists. Can't even lift a coffee cup - b*gg*r !!!
I chose to give it up. I still feel comfortable behind the wheel but I will be 93 in April and it is time. Tough decision but the right one.Sorry to hear that Bill.

Terry, don't know what your particular regimen is but there are two relatively new approaches you might try if you are not already doing so. One of the most important new classes of drugs for treating rheumatoid arthritis are the DMARDs (Disease-modifying anti-rheumatic drugs) which can often times slow or stop the progression of RA by interrupting the immune process that promotes inflammation. However, they may take up to six months to be fully effective.not a lot I can do bout the pain, except take pain killers and / or 'brufen', which subdue it slightly.
Isn't everything...Except maybe my fork!is a lot heavier than it was when I was in my thirties and forties !!
Not today but last Wednesday, to those who drive left hand drive cars outside the UK this may seem normal, but actually it was in the UK and the clown was flying around the roundabout on the wrong side of the road. Took a while to figure out downloading and resizing from the dashcam. It scared the life out of my wife I was expecting a police car to be about 2 seconds behind.

The building in the background is my wifes workplace which is a university, probably a student, I frequently have to stop for Chinese students on the exit to that roundabout, they glance up from their I-Phones and look the wrong way before stepping under my front wheels.Probably was an American tourist...
... or some honorable citizen of Mexico City! (We are reputed to be the wildest at the wheel!Probably was an American tourist...

The traffic and rush in this beautiful city are the best factory of imprudent and driving beasts!
That could be my complaint of the day, ... well, of every day!
In my experience many countries have a "way to drive" which when you know the in written rules means you can get by reasonably safely. Saudi Arabia and China are exceptions to this, things happen there that mean it is just a pure lottery.I only said that because:
1. We Americans overall are terrible drivers. I hate to say it, but it is true. Decades of parents "teaching" their teens their own bad habits, and laziness is starting to become evident.
2. When living in Germany, seeing an American soldier or spouse turn left into a traffic circle was common.
I posted here years ago about watching one American woman enter a traffic circle, miss her exit, and instead of just continuing around until she reached the exit again, she stopped and put the car in reverse. Seriously...
