Master of the Meh
Right hand goes under the knife tomorrow. Left hand folllows in a few months. Best case scenario is that in about a year, if both surgeries are successful, and physical therapy works out, I can start playing again. My grip strength will be gone for good, and there's no guarantee that I will ever be able to play again.
I don't know what's going to happen. I'm scared shitless. Today will see all of my guitars put away in their cases and stored out of sight. Amps too. I don't want to have to look at them every day during this process.
In truth, I haven't even picked one up in many weeks. Between the fact that my last round of steroid shots has worn off, and the maddening futility of even trying to play, I just haven't bothered, even knowing full well that the day was quickly approaching when I no longer had a choice in the matter.
I may try and spend a few minutes playing today before I pack it all up, or I may not. If I never get to play again, I want to remember my last time wielding a guitar as the last show I did with the band back on March 25th. It was probably the best I ever played and sounded. Everything came together that night. My tone was out of this world, and I pulled off some stuff that was well beyond my usual ability.
Yeah, I'm going to let that be my parting shot in case I never get to play again. It's a good memory.
