I am so thankful for your posts....I was elated to think that I could play 9 notes, then crashed when I realized that that was all I was playing that night. My lips wonder what has happened and we won't even mention my ribcage, abdomen, etc. which are still sore 3 days later.
I keep reminding myself that there will be better times ahead and your posts confirm that. It's just a long process of doing a little bit at a time for a couple, 3 months.
I guess the other thing I have to keep in mind is that it is OK if I never get to the level of playing that I was at when I quit. I'm doing this because I love the music and I love the instrument. Competition is not part of this equation anymore.
Thanks again for your encouragement. I hope I won't sound like a whiney one, but I'm trying to just do this and not spend too much time on how hard it is and how out of shape I am.
