I'm almost completely back from my surgery - except for one small thing.
My endurance is shot. I get tired very quickly. This is probably as much to do with the 10 days of bed rest I took, as the after-effects of the surgery itself.
But it is a fact, and I'm listening to my body, and doing the right thing - going home and getting rest when I feel I need it, but I can't say this is pleasing to me. Not at all.
Today I went to the Westcott Avenue Cultural Street Festival, where friends of mine were playing on the big stage. It involved quite a bit of walking, and then about 90 minutes of standing around (well, foot-tapping and in-place dancing once the music got going). There were two bands I wanted to see, but by the end of the first band's set, I was done. All I could think about was to go home and take a nap.
Later, I went to one of my regular jam sessions. By the time my number was called, almost two hours had passed. I played a set, and, again, show's over for me. Home and to bed.
Of course, I paid a price for my nap and woke up at 3:30AM Monday morning (which is when I began writing this commentary).
Tomorrow I have multiple Doctor visits - one to my regular doctor, and I'm hoping to lose my high blood pressure medication, which would meet my goal of being medication-free.
We'll see.
