AxlisOld Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Last Thursday I sliced open my fingers on my guitar playing hand (no, not because I was bored). I damaged a tendon and a nerve in the pointer and middle finger. Now they're paralyzed, possibly permanently. FUCK, I WANT TO PLAY GUITAR!!!!!!

kevdo242 Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 This thread reminds me of an incident where Pete Townshend was windmilling his guitar and his wrist got caught in the whammy bar. You can imagine the results Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shootingstar Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 (edited) I´ve researched. Nervs is like electric leaders. Those nervs that are stimulated often (by electric impulses)got a better possebility to heal. It´s the same with Alzheimers patiences. Those braincells who they use regulary last longest. They are the strongest. Now I´m really, really drunk. But that´s the truth.You are a guitarist. Your nerves will heal! Keep try to move your finger(s) even if it wan´t show any reactions.That glap between your nerv is like a river between two passionated lovers. They will find each other Oh,*EDIT* I saw an documentary about a guy who was in the 30´s and had Parkinsons. This desease is caused by almost the same reasons as Alzeimers(don´t know how to spell it, like everything else), but not same symtoms. The tooked extasy and for a few ours he did just fine. He couldn´t hold a glass of water stady, couldn´t even whipe his ass clean propertly. When he took those "magic pills" all sympthons of his desease dissapeared to 95%. Why?Exctasy make the electric impulses stronger between the nerv cells. Sometime too strong so some nervcells get killed. Those pills can be the boat you just borrow to get layed. And when you got layed a few times, this relationship will last once.Small dozes. Few times if it is nessesary.Warning! ONLY IF NEEDED!Holy fuck! I´m a genious when I´m dunk..I´ll read this romorrow and judge Edited August 4, 2006 by shootingstar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anagram Of Oral Sex Posted August 8, 2006 Share Posted August 8, 2006 I broke my hand/most of my fingers years ago, and ended up losing independent movement of my middle, pinky, and the index (the finger inbetween the middle and pinky). If I bend my left hand middle finger it pretty much makes my index go with it. I also can't bend my pinky, and index completely down when my middle is up.It's not that bad, but it sure fucked my guitar playing up.

AxlisOld Posted August 9, 2006 Author Share Posted August 9, 2006 Hey so I go into surgery Friday afternoon to reattatch my tendons in my hand. Everyone wish me luck, eh? I'll be damned if I lose more than 8 months of guitar playing. Either way I get paid for a month off of working. AMERICA RULES! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
