Enforced break from playing...

Yow!
After seeing the right hand, thought, well, he could still play some...
Then saw the left.
Was your cat stuck in a Tiger?
Best on a speedy recovery.

Thanks guys.
She panicked. Was hanging from a window by her front leg. Most of my injuries are cat bites (doctor could make out at least 14 separate bites) including biting straight through 2 finger nails (1 finger, 1 thumb)

You must not be very dedicated to playing to take time off for that. Other than not being able to use your hands, what seems to be the problem?
Yeah, cats can handle way more than that. We used to have a cat that would get on the roof of the extended back room of the house and then leap over to the second story bathroom window if she heard someone inside. She'd hang onto the screen by her claws and meow at you with eyes big as quarters. Try as we might we couldn't do anything for her from inside. By the time we got the ladder outside she had already let go and dropped onto the concrete patio. Landed on her feet with no injuries.
She did that a few times before learning not to do that. Instead she would sit on the roof and meow until we opened the window and let her leap into the bathroom. Bad habit, but we always let her do it because it was cool to see her do it.
Thanks guys. With hindsight, you are right. She had been hanging for a while and had hurt her paw. Although not high, was not easy either for her to get free or for someone to free her
I've gotten hurt a lot worse than that by chasing a pussy. Just ask the divorce lawyer. "Ah lost evahthang!" Seriously, hope you heal soon. In the meantime you can read up on different styles or artists you're unfamiliar with and when you're ready to play again you'll have something new to try.

No broken bones then? You'll be back to playing in no time. The kitty got away without a scratch I imagine.
I dunno man, throw a slide on your left ring finger and build up some strength with your right ring and you're good to go.
shoot , we have a bi level with a walkup living room and there is a half wall ledge that goes down 8 ft to the front door , our cats launch themselves off it willingly with no pain when they are jackassing around , woulda left it as it was really
