I'm experiencing less pain but am on a lot of bed rest. I'm playing guitar and find it relaxing and thought provoking. Playing my new PRS SE's, Custom 24' and Tremonti Custom, as well as my old Singlecut Tremolo thru my Fender Blackface Deluxe Reverb RI - great sounding combination; Marshall DSL40C combo too, recently retubed and biased for an super cool sound.

The quiet and relaxation is helping me out a lot. Almost zero pain meds so the pain is front and center, of course. I'm progressing well though.

Glad to hear the best wishes from you guys. We spent a lot of years together and it looks like the forum is getting some more attention which is inspiring.
