  So how is your left index finger working?..... I know I couldn't go that long without playing!  I hope all goes well and wish you a speedy recovery!

  You could always have your wife or significant other play for you and you can shout to her when to ding the meter.  Ooops, the meter skips... then what?  Ding... NO, don't ding... now do ding!  What will the neighbors think?!

  Good luck, and hurry back.

  Use your other arm to play.   Or maybe your feet and toes instead ?

  Hope the procedure went well for you yesterday.

  Coincidentally, the surgeon who did my own elbow surgery in Dec. just released me to "Limited Duty" for work, yesterday. The reason for the delay has been a "frozen shoulder" that developed while recovering from the surgery.

  I have one bit of advice for you about your own recovery:

  DO NOT ALLOW YOUR SHOULDER TO "FREEZE"! This condition is known as Adhesive Capsulitis, and it has left me struggling through PT to get it "unfrozen". It develops while your arm is in a sling and your arm's motion is limited. Depends on alot of variables, i.e. age, present condition, time immobilized, etc...

  Do yourself a favor and Google it, and also let your Dr's know that you are aware of the possibility you could develop it.

  It IS possible to play here one-handed... been doing it for awhile myself.

  Best of Luck.
