Today i had to go see a orthopedic doc and stuff, for my wrist that has been bothering me alot for the past..3 months......luckly it wasn't broke, chiped, fractured.....just a very bad case of tendonitits..that goes from my thumb down into my wrist....

He was gonna treat it with a splint.....and a big corizone shot.......I duno if any you all have ever had one in a wrist.....but theres not much "meat" there.......felt like he needle was being jamed into inbetween the bones of my wrist.........this is by far the worst thing I have ever felt......

So i'm now in a splint/ cast thing that I cantake off to bathe other wise it needs to stay on.......my thumb is in it.....and as if my typing wasn't bad enough.....its very hard to now. Even the mouseand turning a key is a challenge......with no thumb......So I will keep my postings short and sweet if i do post....to cut down on spelling errrors......hell its taking me 5 mins to write this post lol........

just giving everyone a heads up....

Off topic but you are a lucky person indeed to know Steve Via!! I noticed the guitar is a left handed model and I am pretty sure Steve plays right hand so I am assuming it is one of his production models instead of from his personal stash?
Regardless, he is definately the king of the fretboard!!

You're right. I am indeed a lucky person to know Steve Vai. I've also hung out with Joe Satriani on a few occasions. Those two play so many shows together it was bound to happen.

Your right out about the guitar. The guitar in my picture is a JEM 7VWH, and it's not out of Vai's personal stash.

Cheers.
