As arthritis has caused me to be come less and less nimble fingered (have had joints fused) I always try to finish up a complaint with "at least I have hands and they still work". It's sometimes frustrating to have to pick up a needle with my right hand and place it in between my left thumb and index finger because my thumb is fused (left-handed gal here) BUT thanks be to God! ... I still have hands that mostly work!
