Read this thread. It has a link to a lesson I did. Use your second finger instead of index. There is a soundbyte in the first thread last post. You have 3 fingers to work with. You just need to develop finger strength, flexibility and the knowledge of how to create your own style of playing by knowing where the note combinations are that you can cover or get to.
new and needing help

some slide guitar players use their index finger for the slide, if you are interested in becoming a 'slider'.

If its any help , I hardly use my index finger at all whilst playing blues (rhythm and lead)
After seeing the picture you posted in another thread, I reckon you could do the blues thing without too much adapting
heres the blues scale to have a play around with...
