On a lighter note, congrats to Ross yesterday, well done Mr.
Not carpal tunnel. Something else. He told me what it was but it was too long to remember. When I sleep my thumb becomes very limited in range of motion. I can force it and it makes a large click, Like the joint is squared off. Thats the outer knuckle on my thumb. It's painful to force it. After being up for a while it is normal again. The joint at my palm is painful. If I don't use it for a while it locks again. It is a progressive type thing and will continue to get worse. He said I was lucky to get in quickly (2 weeks) or it would be much harder to treat and would be much worse. I'm having it treated by a certified chiropractor who is also a sports therapist. He treats the Ottawa Redblacks. This literally happened overnight. I went to bed one evening and it was messed up the next day. Dr. told me that this type of injury is like a bucket filling up. Once its full its nearly instant. I'm still looking at options. Australian trucks have the splitter on the other side of the shift knob. Automatic trans swap is looking to be 30-40k. New truck is 200-250k and not going to happen. Career change is still an option but I'm 58 and always been self employed.
Next appt tmrw. Biggest question I have to ask is can I snowmobile.

the drivers seem to like them once they try realize how much more comfortable they are to drive especially in traffic - their only complaints are backing into docks, they tend to lunge and not as smooth (your case may be different) and getting stuck in snow - The new trucks here are all auto and the tranny has a separate computer (not sure what tranny is in them) They have a lot of trouble in the snow cant bring up the R's or do much to get unstuck and sometimes early issues with clutches among other things - the wife drives a big school bus with the auto and she likes it - you have some tough decisions I feel for you - same age and I too have issues with hands and other joints - I will probably never get a car with paddle shifters...lol maybe time for a new truck with the emission standards are going to get tough on older equipment...
