@Phe :: Wishing you a speedy recovery, during which time – no cheating! ie don't give in to temptations to play before you're fully recovered or whatever is recommended such as if you're allowed during the recovery process to play for 15 minutes per day don't exceed it etc. Of course you know all this, but it goes from concept to concrete when written out.

Best of luck,

Thank you!
I don't know if there is laser involved, but I'm sure it will change my life as well! Would be awesome to be able to play with a pick and uh, not have pain in my hands! They'll probably do my left hand as well, at some point.

Thanks! Yeah, I know, but the thought of cheating has crept in my mind, even before the surgery, so it IS really important for me to read this! So thank you again!

With micro laser surgery the incision is very small. About an inch. And recovery is very quick. I missed a couple o days work. And was back at 100% in a few weeks.

The traditional surgery leaves a large scar and is months of recovery.

Either way, it's worth it!!!

Look what came in the mail today! I was surprised by how diminutive this little purple pedal is. I can't wait to get home and try it.

Dang! That's gorgeous. Should have increased my max bid on them. ;)

I liked my yellow one but then my guitarist tried it and I basically ended up giving it to him for his birthday, LOL.
