The Big Day

Today was a big day for me.   I performed for the church service at Central Presbyterian Church in  downtown St. Paul.   It wasn’t a career changing performance or like the Queen of England was going to be there or anything. Today was special, because it’s the  first day in several years that I would be performing in public without the involuntary  finger movements that have been dogging me on and off since my junior year in college.  I’ve been applying the therapies I’ve learned to combat cubital tunnel  syndrome for the past three weeks.   And they have made an incredible difference in just that short time.
  
It wasn’t my best performance ever, but it had its moments. And it's certainly a much more enjoyable experience when you're not worrying about fingers. But my hands were  shaking and that was a brand new experience for me.  I've been nervous while performing before, but nothing ever shook because of it. LOL. A few more performances under my belt should help out with that.  But I think I will always be just a little more sympathetic to others when that happens to them from now on.
