I have recovered enough to get back to work. My arm is still sore and I have a weight restriction but I can play. I’ve had three shows since being cleared to work. It feels great to be back at it. I’m a little rusty both physically and mentally but everyone at the shows says I sound good as ever. That’s encouraging. Still, after shows Thursday and Friday I’m sore and tired. It’s a good feeling.

Onward & upward!
