Your guitar playing is being seriously interferred with. How did you get along with the guitar playing. Oh, yeah if you're wondering, I'm baaaack...ha! On Thursday, gig night, I sliced a horizontal gash with the breadknife in the last digit of my ring finger. Daniel jumped to my aid as I stood there with thee olde finger all squeezed tight, he administered the neccessary medical aid. The next morning I opened up to see if it was alright, it was beautiful sealed and healed up enough to let me play the Thursday, looking at it now, it did not even develop infection. Hope your thumb heals up real fast. Love Aeryck.
