Re: Way OT: EM fingers!

["L.A. Angulo" <labaloops@yahoo.com>]

I recently dicovered a small lump on my left ring
tendon that was sort of bothering me when playing
guitar and went to the doctor and found out is a
finger ganglion.I am still debating wether i should
let them operate it because there arent any guarantees
of anything,it oculd come back,ruin a nerve numbing
the finger etc.it is specially frustrating and
depressing being left handed...
