The Intergalactic Cowboy

At the risk of jinxing my improvement, I will now announce that I have been able to get by with one aspirin at lunch and one ibuprofen before bed, in order to eliminate my tendon pain. Every other time that I have announced progress in this diary, I have experienced extreme pain the next day. I have always enjoyed defying superstitious beliefs such as ” it’s bad luck to brag.” I have switched to aspirin and ibuprofen because someone told me that Alleve would damage my kidneys if I took it for too long.

My rehearsals for my performance now begin with a longer than usual warm up period for my hands. The Guitar Craft basic exercises have the effect of increasing the blood circulation into the muscles of the hands, which leads to more efficient use of the hands. I don’t know what to do about the tendons of the right shoulder, other than to be careful about not straining them further.

So far so good,

I.C.
