Man down! But still around here!

Dear everyone,
Just so you all know I have broken the Scaphoid bone in my right wrist. The Scaphoid is the hardest one to break but known for being the most painful. Luckily, I was in enough pain for them to take more x-rays when they finally discovered the break. Had they not found it, I would have lost complete use of my hand for life. Cast is on for at least 8 weeks, with a possible 2nd cast for another 8 weeks THEN physio. What makes it worse is the fact that I'm a guitar tutor!
I am still around on the forums as usual and will be carrying on my roles here as normal.
Cheers,
Pete
P.S A lot of pain so having to type everything with just my left hand - but I'm getting quite good!
