Sometimes, life just sucks

I'll know more about my fate on Wednesday.  In the meantime, for your amusement...


I felt like a trainwreck today.  One set would have been all I could done.

[Pilgrim]

Henny Youngman was doing that routine when Alan King was still in diapers. 

"Take my arm, please!"

[Dave W]

Ouch, you sure don't look comfortable, and your hand movement is obviously limited. I'm surprised you were able to make through one set. Take it easy.

[gweimer]

Well, it's worse than I thought.  On top of the broken elbow, I may have also dislocated my wrist.  On top of that, they think I sustained damage to my radial nerves, which is why I have  no finger movement.  Looks like I'm done playing for the rest of this year.  Nerves will heal in time.  I just have  to wait.

[Pilgrim]

I'm sorry to hear that...but that REALLY gives you reason to be serious about it.  That's a serious combination of problems.  I hope you heal well!

You can always take up harmonica with the other hand....?

[OldManC]

Damn Gary, I'm sorry to hear that. I hope you're able to heal as quickly as possible. That second to the last sentence brings a little hope I think?

[gweimer]

The ironic thing in all this is the knee that I had surgery on a couple years back?  It feels GREAT since I fell.  Seriously.

[Dave W]

Sorry it's so bad, that's really tough. Now you just have to force yourself to rest.

[Hornisse]

Take it easy and you'll be back better than ever.  I wish I would practice more but sadly I don't even pick up the bass between gigs unless I have to learn a new song.

I've been known to learn it on the fly!  Yeah, I'm going to take things nice and easy.  Too bad this happened right after getting the Scroll Bass.  I was looking forward to hitting a few blues jams with it.  I may clear out some of my parts I've had for projects.

[Lightyear]

Yes indeed that does suck.  But it sounds like they can put you back together again and that's good.

And there is still the nurse angle 

Here's hoping for a speedy recovery!

[Barklessdog]

Our drummer, who is a meat cutter, cut his hand really bad, had to have surgery. He played with one arm for several months. Made him a better more focused. Sometimes less is more.

[Freuds_Cat]

John, has he become a Def Leppard fan? 

[Barklessdog]

No but similar effect.

Gary, ever see the one armed bass player?

[uwe]

John!!!  

Maybe and just perhaps clips showing stuff like that are a teenyweeny bit premature given Gary's current condition? 

You guys have real talent pulling the rug from underneath someone.
