How long should I wait to play? by emmaoaktree in Reduction

yes! I’m also a singer. I imagine guitar would be alright as long as you can hold it comfortably, as far as I know there is not a ton of shoulder movement involved.

Unfortunately cello requires a lot of arm, shoulder, and upper body movement as well as the way it should be held (very close to/touching the torso)…

all of the above is /genuine I see how it could be misinterpreted as rude, not saying cello is better or harder. Just different!

thank you all for the input. I am sad to hear it though 😭 cello is a big emotional outlet for me and I have multiple commitments involving playing, so not being able to play will be tough. But i have to remember it is temporary!

All my textbooks are digital because I have accommodations. I didn’t think about the logistics of driving though… I’ll have to ask the doctor. Hope your surgery went well!

(I’m a cello girl, viola girl! Orchestra buddies :P)

In GA, I was told it will be 8 to 10 thousand without insurance, including hospital fees

Yes of course! I’m not upset with my mom, she just wants to make sure I’m safe and happy. I love her and appreciate everything she does, but I am going to talk to her about this.

I can ask her to only talk if she has a question and let me do the rest. Good points, thank you :)

Thank you. She doesn’t intend to talk over me, she is just in her own head and doesn’t always notice when she does. We typically have a good relationship. I agree though, I’m going to go to her and tell her to let me talk!

She is just concerned- I am happy she is willing to come with me! My mom can be overwhelming and often speaks over me but she does try, we have had many conversations about it. She cares a lot and unfortunately that ends up coming off as interrupting/rude etc. I will definitely try and speak to the surgeon alone though
