SpaceChick Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 I've only gone and damaged my little finger again! It's an old injury and occasionally I do something stupid and it flares up again! This time it was twisting it back whilst cleaning out the chickens. It's swollen and bruised today, but thankfully on the bass playing spectrum it is surplus to requiremennts! So good dose of pain killers and I'm practicing. I'm soooooo glad it wasn't any other finger or I'd be screwed with me learning and rehearsing my new set list for my new band!

neepheid Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 As I always say to any torturer - "if you're going to remove any fingers, make them the pinkie and ring finger of my right hand" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's nothing - I've done gigs with stitched and broken left hand fingers (cue late night cabin scene from Jaws) Could you not persuade the chickens to clean up their own hutch - bone idle feathery bastards - maybe taunt them with pictures of Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall holding a bunch of sage until they start pushing the hoover about.

Geek99 Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 It should calm down if you put ice on it. You could also try ibuprofen gel which has anti-inflammation benefits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I usually get child labour in to do it! But my friend has the cheek to take her 14 year old daughter on holiday.... Not on I tells ya! As it goes, I've run through my set the best I've ever done it this morning, I may permanently break it... Or maybe even chop it off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] You just went up in my estimation 1000%. As for taking them on holiday........ I recommend an off-season week in a caravan in Withernsea when they're less than 5 , then when you're old and want them to do your shopping and stuff you can say 'you ungrateful little bastard - don't you remember how I took you to Disneyland'.
