A few years ago, I was hovering on the verge of death because of acute diabetes. My highest blood sugar level was 2154 mg/dl. My doctor made presentations at medical conferences about me.
Now, I have recovered. I don’t inject insulin
anymore. I am not on a restricted diet. I am fine.
But I didn’t recover completely.
Since then, I’ve been unable to get rid of the
numbness in my left pinkie. Even now. It’s as if I wear a work glove just on my
pinkie. My pinkie feels weak.
Let’s look on the bright side. I was lucky. If
I were a world-class pianist, it could have been a mortal wound. If I were a
world-class violinist, it might have been a fatal injury.
I use my pinkie just for typing on my computer
keyboard. I have difficulty typing “Q,” “A,” and “Z.” Fortunately, Japanese
language basically doesn’t use “Q.” So, in my case, I am pretty much fine.
When I was a child, I studied the violin. I
quit. If I had continued and happened to become a world-class violinist, I
would have disappointed many classical music fans.
I am happy I quit the violin. Persistence pays
off, but sometimes quitting also pays off.
