A dumb injury, a great remedy: I repeatedly mentioned how I injured my LH’s index and was unable to play for two weeks. My unexpected inability to enjoy the Holidays’ free time and play to my heart’s content horribly exacerbated the already stressful state of affairs. I injured my fingers on “pegs”. Yes sir, that is why I chose to pre-empt any similar epithets and concede that it is a “dumb” injury. ‘wanted to be cool and use the traditional pegs. For looks, more than anything else. My inexperience perhaps, or otherwise to be blamed on stiff poorly fitted pegs. Whichever… I injured that index to the point it wouldn't care to bend at the sight of the pope!! A few kind hearted members of this Forum (you know who you are) offered compassionate advice. It helped to give hope and some relief. But ultimately…. Acupuncture, excruciatingly painful acupuncture, one hour long, but then, a few hours after leaving what seemed a torture chamber, absolute relief. Freedom from the debilitating effects of pain. The therapeutic advice is to resume playing in a week. I will eagerly wait until I am back from Madrid. Nothing like being on a diet, to appreciate the subtle flavor of simple bread we had taken for granted. I emotionally look forward to hearing my hand form any chord…. and dwell on it as if the universe were applauding. God bless Chinese medicine… and my Chinese mother in law who introduced me to it and fried rice.
