Sorry to hear about the injury and, yes, it's definitely a journey back from something like this but totally worth it and totally motivating.

After a lifetime of playing fairly seriously, I severed a tendon in my right hand that took me out of playing keyboards and guitar for almost a year. The very first time I was able to simply place my fingers on the keyboard and make a basic chord brought tears to my eyes, it was just so great to feel that connection between playing and hearing a sound again. I didn't know how much I would get back at that point, but for the moment it was enough.

Thank God, I've pretty much recovered all motion and more importantly can play pain-free with abandon. You will heal and you will be able to play again. Hang in there, do what the doctor tells you, go for it with the physical therapy when the time comes and it'll come back.

Have faith, friend!

Rich
