I’m doing ok, thanks for asking :)
I’m still in denial about having to let go of a gig on nov 8th, & every time I think about it a string breaks on my harp. 3 strings broke in the last 24 hours, so I think my Harp is saying, “Don’t you even THINK about it!”
One of my college students came over & replaced a string for me this afternoon, then she tuned my harp. As soon as she sat down to play, another string broke. LOL. She replaced that one for me, & about 10 minutes after she left, another one broke. That shit never happens! Plus all of my strings are less than a year old. So I guess its some kind of auspicious sign…
Oh my, I think you’re right – your harp is telling you to be patient and heal before trying to play too much. :)
with pins sticking out the sides, it looks like some kind of Frankenfinger, just in time for Halloween. Gratefully, the pain level has gone down!
Frankenfinger :) lol. Glad the pain is under control. I broke my arm at the shoulder a few years ago. After a couple weeks I figured out how to get my electric guitar under my arm and I played with the praise team with that broken arm (not well, but I played). Not saying it was a smart move, just that I understand your desire to get back at it. When you are driven, you can get quite ingenious. Just don’t make it worse.
I’m happy to hear about the pain level being much better. Do what your PT and doctor say to do, and don’t even think about playing that gig. Listen to your harp!
How are you feeling Terri?

For now, I’m being good…sigh

Agree
Glad that you are healing :-) As everybody else says… don’t push it. Let yourself heal.
