Glad it is positive news! I'm sure you will beat this and somehow will even be a better player.

Ouch and I sure wish you the best in your recovery.
My first thought.....if this had happened to me....was to go lefty. It's easier to adapt picking than fingering. More excuses to buy more balls, right?
(I just taught my son how to mow the lawn.....we did it this morning.....I won't be teaching him the trick of keeping the mower going by taping the handle, after hearing this story)

I see a thread but I don't see pics. Seriously though, has anyone seen that news story about the guy who lost part of his finger but it grew back? It was pretty dang amazing. We prayed for Rob's son for months on end. Now we can pray that you recover okay if you want.

Then I look forward to it even more. He is an absolute gem of a country picker...just awesome. I don't think he's particularly well known is he ? I'd love to know a bit more about him.
Some may have seen this before but it puts a smile on my face each time I watch it. Somebody put an AL in his hands please with a B bender

I don't think he'll be prised away from Fenders - but I guess people were saying that about Big AL in the 80's

Damn Kev,
As soon as I read, "The carburetor needing tuning so I taped up the safety bar and fiddled." I knew what was comin' Very sorry to read about the accident. Sounds like you got some positve news. Don't worry, you'll be playin' with your balls again in no time.

Hey Guys...I got a new Ball
Well some did ask for pics...)
Just got back from being fixed up by the Surgeon. He wasn't too hopeful this morning,after studying the X Rays, of saving the end of the finger as the amputated bone was in fragments, but he has managed to piece some bits together somehow and wired through them into the good bone. Hopefully this will do the trick, but we won't really know for a few weeks.
But nevertheless......I came home with a new Ball,..in Morse Blue. Not quite what I had in mind for my next purchase but the saucy nurse had other suggestions which might keep my Wife satisfied particularly taking into account which finger it is on.... So it's now a waiting game, can't drive for at least a couple of weeks and have to keep it meticulously clean, as the risk of infection is very high so no construction site visits. I have to hand it to these surgeons, they are amazing what they do.
Be careful out there !!
