I ;thought I would give you a heads up. It has been seven weeks since the surgery and I am now relearning how to walk as there was substantial nerve damage in my back that controls th e legs. I am slowly making progress. I am trying to play again but the shaking is still there and all the narcotics I had to take to kill the pain did not help. My embouchure is completely gone and I ave trouble due to the shaking to control it. I am working on the Largo stage, it will be while before I progress. I am eager to move on but the body says no, go slow. Thats for all the kind words.
