Get well soon EZ.
I've mashed various bits up in my time, and If you look upon the temporary disability as an opportunity to develop other techniques it leads you upwards and onwards.
When I first broke the finger bones on my right hand, I started playing acoustic bass with my fingers; the reason being was that before I used to use a plectrum. When my hand was broken, I couldn't grip the plectrum, but I had a little control over the tips of my fingers. I found it good physiotherapy, good practise, and a kick up the arse for the doctor who said I would never play guitar again.
Don't worry, be happy.
Bren.
