[QUOTE="skeller047, post: 520579, member: 9069"] Hi Deano, sounds like you have a good teacher then. Maybe a great one :) I may have come off too harsh, and if so I apologize. If an MD says 10 months to heal, then follow that advice, but that seems a long time to me. When I was in my early 30’s (back in the early Juraissic), I had abdominal surgery which of course stopped me from playing. It was 2 months before I could play again, and it was a little tender even then. The abdominal muscles are used so strongly when playing that I really needed to completely heal; I tried flute at 6 weeks, but within a minute I knew I needed to wait longer. So do what your body tells you, but also really pay attention to your posture and try to relax. And let us know how you get on. [/QUOTE]
