broken finger

:cool:
Broke my left hand and pinky finger.
was in a cast for 10 weeks.
the day after I had my cast removed, played a gig.
Could only use three fingers on my lefy hand.
Got threw the gig.
Went to four weeks of rehab, Doc. said that playing bass was best thing I could have done to help rehab.
Hand is now better than before.

The power of the bass?
 
I...

sadly, broken my MIDDLE PLUCKING FINGER.

OFF ALL THE FINGERS TO BREAK...

It happened on September 22, 2003.
(I can recall the date because it changed my perspective of living with two usable hands)

I had a hand cast, because it was a spiral fracture, it needn't move in any direction.

I got it off two days before November 28th, 2003, I remember that because my most anticipated video game was coming out.

Well...that was three years ago...and here it is, present day.

Sometimes when I play the joint (finger to knuckle) hurts like hell, and other days my finger hits my index finger when I play, causing me to miss notes, etc.

Oh well, I will live. lol
