Biting the Bullet

[kenjari]

I may be taking that two weeks break from piano playing and practicing that my physical therapist and orthopedist are recommending after all. Nothing further has gone wrong with my elbow, luckily. It's just that after 6 months of this problem, I am really wanting to get better sooner rather than later, and the PT says that a rest will speed up the process. Various mundane circumstances may also make this an ideal time to do it.
As for the emotional toll, I think I'm just going to try it and see what happens. If I get too depressed or anxious or whatnot, I'll just go back to the half hour a day.
