Sorry to hear about your injury Tammielyn, but from reading your last reply sounds like your mood is picking up so thats good.

One thing I would suggest during the downtime aside from studying theory might be to take up fingerpicking. Lisa has a great program and Chris has some easy classical exercises to help getting your right hand picking fingers into the motion. There are many patterns you can learn in Lisa's program and in the begining your not fretting chords just learning the patterns. By the time your fretting hand gets stronger even if you can just make two simple chords you can start to get some cool melodies down.

Something to think about. Good Luck.
