Sore Thumb

How frustrating. I tweaked my right thumb again. I had been trying to shift my bow hold (get more flexible thumb) and have only managed to make my thumb really sore. It had gotten better after I cut back playing time and iced my thumb after playing. Unfortunately I am on the road (I guess I am getting rest from playing) but it is hard to ice my thumb. Right now I'd settle for a little more rest - I had a long day yesterday, have another long day today, and tomorrow too when I fly home. Then I get one day home before we leave on vacation.

I am definitely not looking forward to getting back; the day after we fly home from vacation I have to jump on a plane again and travel for work again.

A cold can of soda will get you 5-10 minutes of cold therapy. It helps if you like to drink warm pop <g>.

It all sounds tiring. You must miss your cello!

I just got back from a 4 day trip and I think it's exhausted my motivation to travel for the rest of the summer.

Yes, I have used a cold bottle of water. It lasts for a while. I am happy to be back at home.
