Topic: Whoops (or I may have really done it this time)
At work today I had a small mishap. Actually it was a rather large mishap. We were installing a steel roof and thanks to the cold temperature and lots of rain the last few days the steel was very slippery. Things were going well until my feet went out from under me and instinct kicked in. I grabbed for the peak of the roof. Big mistake. I cut my index and middle fingers to the bone right around the first joint. Eight stitches in the index and ten in the middle. They think I may have severed the tendons as neither tip will flex. So on Monday I get to see a hand surgeon and get the full report. At this point my days of playing guitar may be numbered( at least right handed) I had already lost my pinkie on my left hand and had adapted pretty well. Now however I may have to totally relearn how to do it using my right hand for chording. But it is what it is and I figure I learned how to play once, what's to stop me from doing it again. The knowledge is there I will just have to learn to apply it using my right hand. Odd isn't it,right handed people using their left hand do something that requires a fair amount of dexterity. So as things progress I'll keep my extended family here at Chordie updated. Here's to shingle roofs. Later Butch
