[Chicago Sandy]

My Mustang was "neutered," alas. The previous owner removed the whammy bar and actually epoxied the bridge in place--which was why I was able to get it for $175. But the pickups are pretty versatile, especially the out-of-phase setting. (Perfect for Motown & reggae rhythm playing).

I have full sensation back in my fingers, which for now is a mixed blessing. I'm doing the tomahawk chop and fist-making exercises but my knuckles are rebelling against being confined. Beginning to slowly wean down from the painkillers, but it is an ordeal. (Visualizing what is causing the various aches & stings is strangely calming--a mental exercise I learned in Bradley birthing classes decades ago).

Monday I will be getting my cast--so my fingers will have a bit more freedom.
