Bill, I hope you're making progress getting back to guitar playing. I've found myself in a similar situation. First, I sprained my left index (barre) finger, then I took a nasty fall severely bruising my hip joints, that has been a real impediment to my guitar playing. I couldn't walk without my walker, a souvenir I got after my open-heart surgery. It's ironic I injured my back getting my walker out of storage. It reminds me of the lyric, "If I didn't have bad luck, I'd have no luck at all!"
I'm now on the mend, back home, after spending 5 days in the hospital, and I hope you're feeling better too!
Glen
