Just got back from the doctor's office. He says that I have been way too aggressive and have re-injured the cut tendon. He says absolutely no bass and suggests cutting back to no guitar for awhile (a month or so). I have one bass recording today; then I'll stop that, for sure. I risk making things a lot worse.
Take really good care of your hands, folks.
All it takes is one injury to end a career.
