Every Guitarists Worst Nightmare...

So, in mid-January I suffered a fractured and displaced left wrist while playing 5-a-side football. As you can imagine, not great. My fretting hand wrist was shattered, but thankfully my fingers had movement and weren't damaged.

After having it set twice in hospital and 6 weeks in a cast, it emerged with minimal movement or strength. When I was able to pick up a guitar, I couldn't get my hand into the correct position let alone having the strength to hold the strings down.

Thankfully, ongoing daily physio is working wonders and I am able to play again to the same level I could before. I still have a constant, slightly numb thumb, index finger and second finger as well as occasional joint pain. Question marks over carpel tunnel syndrome, chronic pain syndrome or median nerve damage remain, but hopefully continued physio and healing will resolve everything.

That all aside, I am thankful I survived every guitarist's worst nightmare!

Work on Dynamic Equilibrium continues, a lot of theory and writing was done whilst recovering, and now I can get back on track with recording. It is certainly a long time coming after 2012's Logichaos album. It will be worth the wait, I guarantee!
