Picking Thumb...

<MACHINE>

Inspired
Has anyone here ever broken their thumb before (picking hand)? If so, how long did it take until you were able to play again?

Long story short, I broke the distal phalanx (tip bone) and can't play guitar :x
 
If it makes you feel better, I feel your pain. I broke my thumb playing football when I was in high school. My thumb actually met my forearm. It was in the first quarter and I played the whole game and that's the important bit. Long story short.... Game was Friday night. Saturday morning I showed up at my guitar lesson and the thumb pad of my hand was over 3in thick.

6 weeks in a cast, learning to write left handed, and did I mention, since I couldn't play, 6 weeks of intensive music theory. I feel your pain brother.
