It's not a long span of time. But if it is filled with violin playing, it's an eternity. I would do anything to feel what it feels like again. To feel the weight of the fiddle on my shoulder and even the smell of rosin. 8 months post-op and I still can't play. If I'd known this going in, I'da practiced more. I'm trying to be patient. Hopefully it will pay off, preferably in the near future.
