I am just back from the hospital tonight having had a bit of a sporting accident. I play five a side football a couple of times a week. I should probably know better at my age but I don't.
Anyway, managed to tear my right bicep away from the ulna (I think) leaving me needing an operation, bang goes my guitar playing for a while If they operate soon

which they might.
They are having a look tomorrow.
Total bummer!

Thanks Bob,
hopefully know soon. If it needs an op which I think it does to re-attach the muscle to the bone then the sooner it is done the better! Then I can recover in the New Year.
And me with a new guitar that I don't want to put down, grrrrr.

Thanks Chas and Willem. I'm really gutted about this on several levels, but will just have to go with it for the moment. I got a phone call this morning, looks like an op' on Friday is very possible.
Will be glad to get it over with and start to recover.
Thanks,
