A big off

[winjim]

Or a guitar. I use my little finger all the time.

That is the one finger that I don't use (much) on the guitar.

Actually, I rarely (attempt to) play my guitar these days, but when I did, that finger didn't see much action.

You both know this guy, right?

I knew someone would mention Django

 

[Drago]

Or Tony Iommi.

I did think of them!

Ah, Tony Iommi is one of those left handers who plays guitar the 'wrong' way round.

My late pal did. I remember him getting his first guitar (a right-handed one) and him swapping all the strings round despite the guitar not being set up properly for that and him not being able to play. I couldn't see why it would be more difficult for him to learn with the strings left as they were.

I went round a left hander a bit too fast and ran off the road. The next thing I knew I was over the bars and sliding down the tarmac face first. It is the first time I have worn a helmet in ages and I could hear the visor being scraped to pieces. That would have been my forehead. I wasnt a convert, but I am now.

While I have been in here it has given me time to reflect. It has frightened me and at 57 I need to ease off a bit. I dont bounce and get up as well as I once did. But in a few months I may feel different.

I have quite a few weeks of pain to get through before I will be back on a bike but I wiĺl be going home today. If you want to feel really ill go and stay in a hospital.

My first priority is to get my World Traveller into the bike doctor for a good checkup.

Thanks for al your good wishes. It helps.

PS. I do not play any musical instrument.

Glad it all went well and your virtuoso guitar playing status is unaffected.

Has an op on your pinky spoiled your tea drinking at all? Nobody has mentioned it yet.

I've been a bit slow catching up with this thread.

Best wishes for a clean and speedy recovery Steve.

I have already started researching folding trikes. I used to have a non folding ICE trike but it took up too much space. Maybe 3 wheels will be safer than 2.

Yikes! sorry to read this Steve and I hope you're on the mend!

I'm a lefty and play a left hand guitar. I remember having guitar lessons at school playing a righty... but it just didn't work for me and i got nowhere with it. It was only years later when i swapped the strings around that i actually learnt to play something.
