You know, not to sound morbid, but I think I am getting it, that I can't beat this. I hope to carry on as long as I can, but the very real possibility exists that my plank spanking days are over. It is funny in a way, I invested in my home Digital Recording set up, and have an amazing collection of guitars/amps/effects, just stuff I never could pull together, and now that I have it, I CAN'T USE IT!!!!
It is like Fate is giving me a big ol' finger, right in the eye. I may have my son, Nick record some stuff I can still do on his phone and get some pics up, but this has been a real slap in the face.
SLAP!!!!:##:##:dang
Still, you bastards have helped keep my spirits up, and I know no matter how diminished my capabilities are now, you bunch would only see the positive of that, and it helps me to see the positive. Still, I would have rather gone blind.
So thank all of you for helping to lift my funk. You all really have no idea how much it really helps. I may not be able to play well, but I can listen well, and spend a lot of time playing music to listen and marvel. To time trip, you know? Those songs that mark certain portions of your life. You hear it and BAM! IN THE WAYBACK MACHINE, SHERMAN!!! it's 1969 again and I can almost taste it.
WE are all blessed as I see it, because Music, the ability to play and create Music is a sacramental gift that is universal and timeless. I think we as musicians need to remember that sometimes. The simple joy of communing with music, touching that thing deep inside us.
I can guarantee when I do leave this plane, I'll be soaring on wings of Melody and Harmony. It will be good.:hmm:hank
Being immoral is fun!I don't plan on dying at all, I'm one of those immorals...
Big Al,
Best wishes, man. You've got a great attitude, and as you know, that goes a long way.
Here's to better news next time at the doc's.
I'm waiting for my custom made body parts and the Surgeon is working out how it can be done, as this procedure hasn't been done before. If I say I'm scared shitless it would be an understatement. Of all the surgeries I have had, this one has me quaking in fear. I would do anything to not have it done, but I really have little choice.
All I can hope for is a quick recovery and a painless result. If by any miracle I would be able to play guitar, even if it is just barely, I would be happy.
