[Rhodes22-list] Surgery

[Steven Alm]

Shilane,

That makes three of us here on the Rhodes list that have had UNT surgery.
Phillip, Jim and myself.  Mine was a result of an injury when I was a
teenager that didn't heal right and I had numbness and weakness is my little
finger and ring finger.  The surgery was a success and now I can play the
violin like always--not really--actually I play the piano for a living and
I'm happy with the results.  The little finger of my right hand is a "money
maker" and it's pulling its weight OK.  Even surgeons don't use their pinkie
fingers much, but pianists do!!!

There's a surgeon here in Minneapolis that might be arguably among the best
in the country.  Let me know if you want any more info.  Please feel free to
call.
