3. Trifecta
Fri May 8, 2026, 10:08 AM

I am left handed and have a left hand trifecta: essential tremor, carpal tunnel and osteoarthritis. My "signature" now looks like a 2 year old's scrawl on the bedroom wall. I have had to ask for help in filling out a form at the doctor's office and I dread having to write out a check to pay a bill. Sometimes it's a challenge to keep soup in the spoon long enough to get it to my mouth.

I'm 83 and am still able to live in my own home (wife passed last March). I'd like to keep going long enough to see that pos in the White House cash it in.
