You folks are really great. Thanks for your responses. I really appreciate all the advice. I am seeing a specialist on monday to discuss. I am relearning how to walk and cannot drive. I called the surgeon and he told me it will take 9 to 12 months before things get back to normal. I was trying to do just the simple exercises as i have to lie in bed most of the day. It is so incredibly boring and the pain is intense. I love the course and was making good progress until surgery. But now when i tried yesterday my embouchure could not be maintained for even one breath. Thanks to all and you Greg for a great course
Best wishes
Hans
