This is horrible. I really hope you get better. I've never heard of anything like this before. This is like Beethoven losing his hearing.

I pray that you recover speedily, and that in the meantime, you can perform under adversity.

Best regards,

Larry Levin

I wish you the very best Gary. You have all my sympathy. This is such a tough thing to deal with. I am confident you will find a cure for this.

Best wishes gary for a sppedy recovery!

Gary, also wish you get better as fast as possible!

L.S.

Wow. I'm not prone to suing but it sure sounds like malpractice to me. Good luck and I hope you find something that helps.

Wow sorry to hear about this rather unique issue Gary!! The idiot "specialist" who said he was confident to have this problem fixed in 20 sessions seems to be the one in question who should be held accountable over this matter.

Perhaps now is the time to practice playing the one-finger chords with your right hand, and see if you can use the left a bit more than you used to...?

It feels a little awkward at first, but it's amazing how quick it comes....

And, of course my hopes go out to you for a full recovery, but if things don't improve, take a listen to (and read about the full back story of) Ravel's Piano Concerto for Left Hand. It is inspiring, and hopefully helps you realize there's more to making music than our physical bodies....

All the best......

Gary,

Your story sounds terrible. Is it possible that they had the wrong settings on the machine? Whatever the case, if there is permanent damage, please consider suing. It won't get you your fingers back, but it might help put the bread on the table.

We're all pulling for you, my friend .... at least now, I'm not the only one here with typos ! Heal up soon.

While I do not even think about suing someone for making a mistake, in this particular instance, if the damage is permanent I may make an exception. Had a rough night last night with hand pain and needed to take some medications in order to sleep. Normally, the only medication I take is a small glass of Kickapoo Joy Juice--just for medicinal purposes. Now, because of the medications, I cannot imbibe.

Cheers,

Gary
