I myself have been lucky enough to not have suffered any
serious trauma but expienced family members recovering
from very tragic events. You know Shauns story. It will be a
year Tuesday since that event and he is doing so well. My
eldest daughter was burned over 65% of her body 2nd and
3rd degree about 8 years ago. We almost lost her once from
the event and again when she was recovering due to infection.

She has had to rebuild her life over again. My proudest day was
when I got to see her take her first steps for the second time in
her life.
Hang in there the fustration will pass and you will come through
it a better man. The hardest part will be finding the balance between
pushing yourself enough and pushing too much.

Take Care

All he had on his left hand was a thumb, index finger and little finger. He was one of the best guitar players I have ever heard So that's where this came from:

This may sound a bit off Vic, but as you're having so many issues playing with the injured hand have you thought about switching to playing lefty? Even if you were to never gain the use back of your middle finger it would not you strumming with that hand]]> Guitar Players Discussion teleplayer324 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/frustrated-frustrated-frustrated/paged/2/#post-201021 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/frustrated-frustrated-frustrated/paged/2/#post-200969 Thu, 28 Sep 2006 18:23:30 +0000
I've played sports all my life and the past couple years have been very frustrating in not being able to do that.

Stick with it I think you'kk be OK in the end it's just going to be frustrating for awhile, don't try and stress to much and don't over do the PT. KP is right you need to let the finger rest to heal.

Good luck ....have you ever thought about playing the guitar the oppsosite way..I know it would be difficult but maybe it's an altrernative.]]> Guitar Players Discussion cnev https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-players-discussion/frustrated-frustrated-frustrated/paged/2/#post-200969
