Thumb update... for those that may care...

[SFW]

Ouch. Stick with it and I hope you make it back on stage soon. Maybe look for some kind of thumb cover until the nerves are less sensitive, Iommi style?

I actually have an appointment next week to get a "cover" for it. lol. Time to drop the tunind to D Standard and get my Sabbath on! lol!

Must have missed the intro post to this story but that looks gnarly and it's sick that you're already back at it. Keep pushing man.

The thread is somewhere around here. The funny part is that I haven't posted any of the really gnarly pictures that I have of it. I figured I would spare everyone the real gore...lol Long story short is that part of my thumb was bitten off by a dog. Good times...

It really sucks that happened. If I remember correctly, your 2 pups were going at it and you just tried to intervene and became a casualty. Not that it was an act of aggression from the dogs, right?

Best of luck in your recovery. Your brain, your left hand, your right wrist, your right index finger all know exactly how to play guitar and I hope will help you get your new thumb on board ASAP!

Correct. My dumbass just got in the way. The boys are currently enjoying some time in "boarding school." Should have them back from the trainer next week. Looking forward to it, as I miss their goofy asses.

Glad you are coming along.
I always think about "What if something happens to my playing fingers?"

Good news! Well done on getting back on the strings. Will take some time for the brain to re-learns your method for holding the pick. Eventually muscle memory will take over and you will be good to go.

@SFW wishin you a continuous quick recovery brother. Looks like it’s healing well. Ur goin to be a hand model after this.

Glad it’s going good! I cut the tip of my finger off, although not nearly as bad as yours, but I’m amazed at how much it has plumped back up. The human body is amazing!

Ur a damn reptilian… Amazing!
