One month later…

Still working on healing. Monday is the end of three weeks of physical therapy to rebuild strength and increase flexibility, and though there’s still transient pain, life feels almost back to normal.

Violin lessons start again Monday afternoon. I haven’t yet been able to play, but I have a feeling it’s fear more than anything else. Tomorrow I’ll have to pick it up and play, at least for a few minutes.

Haven’t been able to do much with the sax yet, either. The effort of playing leads to achiness where all the work was done, so I’m left with nothing more than very occasional, short term practice.

Some days are pretty discouraging.

But things really are much better than they once were.
