So the last few days have been getting to me. Not being able to play, not being able to drive, or even go to the gym (properly) has got me down a little. Fortunately, I’ve had lots of messages from friends and other musicians sending their condolences and wishing me a speedy recovery. I really appreciate that so thank you all!
The good news is that the Hand & Wrist Therapy service rang me today and told me it should be out of the cast in the next week! This doesn’t mean I go back to normal, I still have to wear a splint and do loads of exercises for the next 8 - 12 weeks. I do think I’ll be back playing before then. I’ve got too much booked, so that will not be the case.
I am becoming more and more stoic about this whole process. Considering yesterday I was feeling pretty low about the whole thing and today I got good news that I can be out of this very annoying cast (yes typing this is very frustrating), it seems this is a good time to practice not getting too low, or too high.
I do believe most things happen for a reason, or at least you can find opportunities anywhere, and even though it’s been less than a week, I can feel some real perspective changes starting to form. Perhaps, that’s for another day though.
Watch me make funny videos about my broken wrist here.
Until tomorrow,
