Dingus Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 (edited) Just try and be thankful it wasn't worse ! That sounds as if it could have been a very serious accident . Hope all goes well with the scan ect. Edited November 17, 2012 by Dingus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybass 70 Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 gutted for you dude, i broke my wrist earlier in the year and have 2 screws holding it together. I never thought it would be the same again but if your a good boy and do what the doctors tell you and do your phsio you will make a good recovery, its been 6 months since mine broke and it honestly feels as strong as it did before. Good Luck and don't despair, get well soon. Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Highfox Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 FFS, Nightmare! Hope it heals quick and strong and your soon back at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarky Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Yowza. Thats sounds horrid! Hope it sorts itself quickly. FWIW, I fell down some stairs two weeks before my first ever gig on double bass (a couple of years back) and broke two metacarpals and dislocated/broke two fingers. Perhaps rashly I took the bandages/strappings off and played the gig. It can be done! Bloody hurt afterwards mind ... Anyways, rest, anti-inflammatories, ice and strapping and your Stingray playing days should return quickly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stingrayPete1977 Posted November 17, 2012 Author Share Posted November 17, 2012 Just want the op ASAP , was tomorrow but not going to be for a few days now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oggiesnr Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 Hope it heals quickly. Voice of experience (just "celebrated" the anniversary of my break) says "do the bloody exercises that the physios give you", seriously it'll pay in the long run. During my enforced silence I relearnt to play the moothie. Another alternative would be to start play a synth and keep playing all those bass lines.

mcnach Posted November 18, 2012 Share Posted November 18, 2012 ouch!! but glad that you are ok otherwise. I hope it doesn't take too long for you to recover... and like others said: (mum mode on) do your exercises as the physio says! (mum mode off) Hey, if you are afraid your preEB will suffer not being played while you recover, I'd be happy to sacrifice myself to help a friend and I would step in to make sure it gets some action Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stingrayPete1977 Posted November 18, 2012 Author Share Posted November 18, 2012 I'd be glad to let you have it until the cast is removed Jose, shame your so far away, is there anyway you could get it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
