Re: Giving up the clarinet

From one of similar vintage Tony (82 actually) I send all best wishes for a successful outcome.
I had surgery 7 weeks ago, nothing as complicated as yours, just under 2 hours on the table, and I laid off playing for 4 weeks but am now building up my stamina again.
And there is no doubt that your history of years of playing is a huge plus for lung function.
In my operation I was told by my surgeon that I was the oldest client he had performed this surgery on, however the anesthetist said after that I had no problem at all under the anesthetic. I am convinced that 65 years of playing had a good effect, and the past 2 years almost exclusively on bass clarinet has been a massive work out for my lungs.
