Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Hey there.   I broke them hands on April 10.  I didn't hit the wall.  I 
got hit by a car.  Not being able to drum or play guitar has really 
bummed me out. They are not nearly healed yet.

Several years ago, during my drinking years, I smacked my fist into a 
hot water heater and shattered the knuckle in my right pinky into 4 
pieces.  It has healed totally, with no problems.  On the other hand 
(LOL) this time the soft tissue injuries associated with my broken 
thumbs seem to be a bigger problem. Sometimes in a stiff breeze my 
thumbs will flap like a busted pinata in a Texas twister. (Just kidding.)

I have an appointment next week to see an occupational therapist about 
my hands.  If I find out about any useful had rehab tricks/exercises, 
I'll post 'em on this group.

Meanwhile, don't even punch the pillow.  Just speak sternly to it.
