30% reduced hearing since I am 2 years old, tinnitus since I am 12, broke my left arm 4 times,
all in all 8 broken bones in my arm, the last time was the worst, 2 years ago, broke my elbow into
3 pieces, my biceps is still way smaller than before, not able to bend and straighten my arm like
I was before and never will be again, but thankfully I am still able to play guitar, just needed
some time to get used to it again, like 1 year to be able to play while standing and so on, but I also
needed like 2 months to be able to open or even lift a bottle of water again and 3 months to be able
to touch my face or remove my glasses, that time really sucked.
Never ever even thought about stop making music, I know that I suck at it

but it's just one of the best
things in my life, it was the first thing I tried when I got out of hospital with a 6 inch long piece of steele
in my arm and a 5 inch long cut on my elbow that was still bleeding.
Oh and I needed pain killers for 5 months and they had the byeffect of reduced hearing, too, so I was
half deaf.
I also had a few pretty bad cuts in both my hands (bandsaw, chainsaw, sharp knives) so I have
a few deadspots (almost my whole little finger in the left hand, half of my thumb and a few smaller ones).
But it can be way worse, a friend of mine was a pretty good sax-player (played 15 years, 1-3 hours a day)
but had tongue cancer, he's able to speak again, but there's no way that he will be able to play sax again.
