All is going as well as can be expected; I'm extremely limited, but what I can do I'm doing well. 

OK, I lied; I could never play well; after a 6-week layoff.......well, I need to brave the stairs and play more.

Progress is progress, a little everyday adds up. 

Keep on keeping on!

I think this would easier if I was sure of a prognosis; either I will eventually recover and discard all my walkers, grabbers, shower chairs, etc., or this is me now, so get used to it.  Not knowing which is driving me nuts.

Peter, I am a notorious over-thinker.  I understand what you are saying and empathize with your current situation.

Now for the advice you didn't ask for and it also fits cleanly into the "easier said than done" category - especially coming from me.

You need to be focusing on the present.  Tomorrow may be good or bad but right now is most excellent!  Keep aiming high with your recovery goals and recognize the blessing of being at home where you are loved.   Your Alembic friends love you also.

Yes

Yesterday is History and Tomorrow is a Mystery.  Today is a gift, that is why they call it the "present"!

Keep at it Peter, I broke my leg in half once and felt the same way.

PICC line just came out of my arm; first time since Oct 12 I haven't had medical equipment of some sort inserted into my body.  Yes, I'm a happy boy right now!

The Grand-dude is on the mend. 

That's great news!  Huge psychological shift happens when you're finally independent of lines and machines.

Hell Yeah! 

No more PICC?  I guess you'll just have to play with FINGRRS!

Congrats on making some real progress!

Bill, tgo

As if Bill didn't know I play with fingrrs anyway.........

And thanks to all for the good wishes.

Peter (who did, indeed, laugh at Bill's pun anyway)

Good to hear!

Good to know you've conquered a new step in your recovering, Peter.
