Good news! I saw the surgeon today. I don't have to immobilize my finger any longer; just some taping for another week. I can start moving and playing in one more week. I should be back to normal in 3 weeks if all goes well.  

Great news!

Hi Alice, I don't know about normal, but I should be able to play again. 

The best part is playing guitar is my physical therapy.

I am back at it. This is my first week of playing in a month. Playing guitar is my physical therapy. The G chord hurt for a couple days, and the B Barre chord is a little painful for now. I posted this recording in the Monthly Challenge as proof of life.

I broke a finger on my fretting hand early this spring. I worked on my finger picking patterns for awhile when I could use my finger again I used my nylon string guitar so I didn't have to use as much pressure on it. but it is good therapy to help get the fingers moving again.

@Tom D Good to see you are still playing. My finger still hurts when I do certain things. Playing guitar doesn't seem to aggravate the finger much. Keep working on that physical therapy.

Best wishes for a speedy recovery.  I do know how you feel, I had some sever damage to my right arm and shoulder while on deployment about 13 years ago and could even hold a guitar for loots 2 years.  Be patient , follow the doctors instruction, you will be back playing before you know it.
