Yamaha DTXpress/DTXplorer/DTXtreme

Greetings good people.  I had purchased my dtxpress kit in March, and 
posted once or twice when something nasty happened to me. On April 10 I 
was crossing the street and got hit by a car.  I had a fairly bad 
concussion, from which I seem to be recovering (as far as I can 
tell...doh).  I also broke some ribs and both thumbs.  The casts have 
been off my hands for a while, but they are still pretty tender and 
rather weak.

I cannot play my guitar at all yet, but I have discovered that I can 
whack away at my drum kit for short periods.

So, I have two requests.  First, all you crazy drummers out there, 
please say a little prayer for me and anyone else who lives to play 
music, but has been injured ;-)

Now, on the more practical side: does anyone have any experience as a 
musician coping with and speeding improvement of hand injuries?  Any 
tips or hints?  I don't know if my mitts will ever be quite the same, 
but I am hoping they will.

If you don't have any advice, sympathy emails are gladly accepted. Har.
