Very sorry to hear of your injury, Bill.  Sounds painful!

I hope you recover well from it.  As far as driving goes…. the right hand is pretty much for shifting, and just helping the left had do the steering anyway, right?

Bill,

Don’t lose hope! As a lifelong guitar player, I had issues with my index finger on my fretting hand. After years of searching, I found a doctor who was willing to repair the unknown damage. She woke me from surgery with the news that she’d “Found the issue and repaired it… but I would never play the guitar again!”

I struggled for years with that bombshell. Fortunately, I found my new passion in Karting. Several years later, with the help of a Physical Therapist, I worked for a 13 months and regained the use of my index finger. It was a long and incredibly painful process… but today, not only am I able to hang onto the wheel of a shifter with my left hand… I can also play again.

So take heart and remember… You are NEVER out of the fight!
Be A Warrior!!!
