Feel a bit shady asking you Guys but might you spread my 'gofundme' page around your other social media outlets/following for me? Thanks in advance!
https://www.gofundme.com/f/fund-an-acoustic-bass-for-ian?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=p_cp+share-sheetMy right arm/shoulder was crippled by our UK health service back in 67' when I turned up at A&E with a Greenstick Fracture to my right elbow.
Sadly the Ward Sister decided that ,as it was Sat Tea time and busy,she'd become a Dr and so abandoned any protocol declaring my arm 'Strained' and so bandaged it tightly.
Sadly, it being a fracture, the arm tried to swell up overnight collapsing the blood supply and so killing the muscle (Volkmann's ischemic contracture) leaving my hand in a tight fist and with no feeling up to my shoulder.
4 years of daily (apart from Easter Sunday/Christmas Day and New Years day) physio at the Hospital gave me some use of my arm and the 'stretching' devices I was strapped into every night gave me pincer grip for my right thumb & forefinger.
I was right handed BTW
The regime of exercises keeps my hand open (not in a fist) and I've transposed some of the daily exercises onto the guitar.
This made me discover that the movement of the other 3 fingers, apart from being restricted, have the abilities an y 4 year old has with their favoured hand?
Moving up to a Bass string (from a steel string folk/nylon string Spanish) might further aid me recover the use of my hand?
I know at 57 yrs old it's late in the day but humour me eh?
