One Day, They'll Put Me Away, And I Need A Way Out.

Old wisdom: Better a live dog than a dead lion.

Your usefulness is unquestioned here. You contribute more than most, including me! And who would entertain Mrs Les, were you to be taken away? She’d be bored. :)

Enjoy the time away; it is good to unplug. We’ll look forward to your return.
 
Best way to recover from an injury and/or hospitalization is to buy more guitars and keep them out on stands to inspire you to work harder on your recovery.

I think we all need to lobby congress for the ability to write off guitars as a medical expense, I'm pretty good at rationalization and I can make a pretty good argument that the guitar in my avatar is "Durable Medical Equipment" as it helped me recover and regain range of motion from a broken arm and 2 surgeries!
 
Well, I made it only 5 days. But it was a NECESSARY 5 days!

Instead of sitting at the computer feeling marginal, some stuff got accomplished.

An ad agency pal called to have me negotiate a license to use a rock star's photo for a project they had. Not as enjoyable as a music project, but at least it was a productive activity that got my head out of the internet for a few days, so that was OK.

Yesterday I got outdoors, walked a mile in the sunshine (I could have done more, I think, but didn't want to push it), and later went into the studio to play some guitar. Today I'll do them both again, and walk farther.

The dizzy/spinning feeling from the medication they put me on is becoming less pronounced each day as I acclimate to it. So I feel pretty good!

You're all the best and I really appreciate all of your thoughts and kind words!

Great to hear you're on the mend
 
I got 1.8 miles in today (just checked on my car odometer because I was curious) when I walked. It's a course I often walked before I had the problem arise. I used to do it in a half hour.

There are lots of fairly substantial hills in my area, so I decided that discretion was the better part of valor, and went slowly. It took 45 minutes today.

Beats a sharp stick in the eye!

Take care my friend,I am recovering from a second shoulder surgery, the first botched. I couldn’t play for a while so that was out, but kept my mind busy with reading. I don’t take a lot of meds, but can relate to the dizziness after meds..They were NOT the good ones;)
