went to a specialist today and he said he’s sorry but the family will not be spared my shabby guitar playing… I’ll heal in three months.
But you should see the other guy.

It was Loretta Lynn’s fault.

I was training (ha) our German Shepherd named Loretta Lynn and jerked her leash to correct her for pulling. Worked great…. trained me not to ever do that again.

Ouch! Bummer… (about the finger, I’m glad you’ll be able to play guitar again soon. ‘Cause I’m gonna make you sing me that song again that I liked so much when I was down last year)

It looks like a bad case of Manu Syndrome. . . .
Hope it is feeling better!

I’m henpecking the keyboard with two fingers “buddy taped” together. Makes one big, fat ring finger. It sucks.
The funny thing is that the wrist brace has nothing to do with the injury. If you look at the photo you’ll see it’s not attached or even near the injured knuckle which is there between the two bands of white tape. It’s a placebo. This smart (sneaky) hand doctor says it accomplishes the most important thing…. giving a visual to keep people from reaching out and squeezing the injured finger during a hand shake. The brace is only there to remind me and others not to shake. He said he wishes they made one with sharp spikes all over it because he’d prescribe that. I’ve already had it happen a couple of times, any habitually strong Texas style handshake reinjures the ligament.

I hope you feel better soon, I’m sure that’s probably even more aggravating than it is painful.
An interesting thing that I’ve learned since starting to do HR training is that sometimes our ideas of good manners can actually be harmful to our health. Handshaking is one of those things. Now, I’m not even going to get in to what the epidemiologist’s statistics say about how many outbreaks could be decreased by the elimination of hand-to-hand contact during key contagion periods BUT I will say that I have found that many people experience severe pain from handshakes but feel uncomfortable saying anything because of social convention. So many people suffer from arthritis, both rheumatoid and osteo, and shaking hands can be extremely painful – even damaging – to them. I know it’s hard here in Texas where we often gauge someone’s trustworthiness by the quality of their handshake, but it’s definitely something to think about.
