Thinking of you too.

xoxox

thank you. i'm doing a little better today. i got a
decent nap in yesterday, which has gotten me somewhat
more energised.

Oh whew that is good to hear. A little bit better is much
better than nothing at all. You sure do it tough Lisa. I
sure hope that one day this all goes away and you can
resume your life when it all started those 8 or so years
ago. I would so love to hear you play your french horn.
:)

i'd love to hear it, too! first the horns need to be
reconditioned before i can play them, since they've been in
storage for so many years. then i can start building my
embochure up from scratch. eventually, i'd like to play
half as well as i used to. that should be well enough to
play in the local band, anyway. i doubt i'll be back to
serious orchestral playing, but one never knows...

This is such exciting news! You know what, I started out
playing the piano for just 15 mins a day. I set the timer,
got myself a "goal song" and just played for those 15
minutes. I didn't put any pressure on myself at first, but
just enjoyed the experience. Now I am up to nearly 3 hours
per day, and my skill level is probably better than when I
played as a teenager (although the body is protesting a bit
at the moment).

I would love to see if you could do it. Or even for 5
minutes per day. Would it cost a lot to get it
reconditioned? You could keep that goal of joining the band
as a distant one for the moment, so as not to put too much
pressure on yourself, but what a goal!!!!

Go for it Lisa if you possibly can. It has made the world
of difference in my life even with the chronic fatigue,
depression, anxiety, food allergies blah, blah, blah....

thanks for the good wishes. they mean a lot to me.

Hey, no worries. You are a great person you know that?
