I knew I could play tuba and I’ve managed both this morning at church and tonight’s two hour CSWO rehearsal (including the challenge of sight reading some pieces I haven’t played before even on electric bass). However the big step forward today in terms of my post-accident rehabilitation was discovering that I can safely drive again. That meant I could get to and from the evening rehearsal myself and is going to be a useful additional skill to have recovered.

Before I start planning any longer journeys, I’ll have to see whether I suffer any side effects. It is possible I will wake up with the wound feeling very stiff after giving it quite a lot of stretching today. On the other hand, I may just wake up with it feeling stronger and more flexible. No more driving – or tuba playing – today though; I think I should enjoy a bit of a rest for the remainder of the evening.
