Hey everyone I wanted to give a small update.
Post OP X 5 days
I have been feeling a ton of pain today. Yesterday I was feeling better, maybe I pushed too much. So today I pay. but I have still been doing my steps.
Video is from yesterday.

Great to hear the surgery went well!
Rushing recovery runs in my family, much to my wifeâs chagrin.

I sort of feel like a whiny baby, but I think I will go with what you said.

Recovery, mentally and physically, is seldom a straight line up. It is a wobbly curve with ups and downs but the -trend- will be upward!
Courage!
Or as the French say:
Courage!

Oh and I am supposed to take some of my pain meds today also, which I have already done, as some may be able to tell from my edits and mistaken deletion of this very post just a moment ago.

I am unable to play guitar for longer than a minute or so right now. It is very dissapointing. I really tried yesterday for the first time. Then again today. My positioning feels really awkward and I immediately starts hurting. I am not to twist, bend and then I have other restrictions that are hard enough to follow. I am already in a semi fowlers position so scutching into sitting with a guitar in my lap should not be that bignofna deal IMO.
Oddly I am following all the rules, I am walking across the house every hour and more even like the team wants me to be do, but it feels really slow. I was certainly not prepared for any stalling like this in my guitar playing and I think it has me down some. I guess its what I deserve. I know they are all happy and say I am right where I should be. But man, not being able to play blows the big one.
I think it could be a good skill to learn to play flat on your back. You never knowâŚ

You could be right. I could do it on a bed of nails and make an act out of it.

Just caught up with this, great news your surgery went well Jason. Take it easy and careful, I had a big heart op in 2019 and it took me quite some time to get over it. Best do what they say, and then recovery will be quicker.

Jason, I understand how it would be great to play guitar again, but I hope youâll be patient with yourself! (sorry, I think I said the same before! 
)
Take care!

When Iâm really bad and canât take my neck up because it would give me dizziness I do this:
I lay down in my bed with my light Classical Guitar and I look for melodies on the open position C Major Scale (or the G one as it differs only by one note!) âŚwithout looking actually, only earing the notes.
Another idea for you would be to take a printed out music sheet, listen to the original recording, tap and with a pencil add the beats of each chord over the lyricsâŚI find it such a powerful exercise!
Take care of yourself
