Thanks everybody. My condolences to those of you who have been smashed up. My hand therapy is going well -- I'm about to go from once a week to once every two weeks. I just wish I knew more about how to proceed with guitar practice. Maybe I'll play scales. Maybe I'll play scales in open tunings, KP, which will help me find my way around them (I have been mostly a standard-runing player).

Keep the suggestions and stories coming. Thanks.
