      I haven't been active on this forum as much as I used to... I just read through this posting and hope and pray that you'll be okay and can get back into playing. There is no such thing as "age catching up". I always joke around with age numbers to take away any worry. If you are 83, then always think that you are 38 and you can still do everything you did at 38! On the other hand, I am 59, so in that case you just add the two numbers... 5+9=14. Okay, so I could be a 14 year old kid, playing trumpet in middle school!

      I hope everyone is doing well during this crazy COVID-19 stuff. I haven't been driving my school bus since this all happened, back in March! Everything is shutdown. The Shriners Band is shutdown, the annual Oktoberfest is already canceled, etc...

      George, I just wish you the best and hope you can regain your health!

      Stay safe, everyone!

      Butch... sounds like particularly tough times for you as well. May you be well for sure!

      What is scary for me as I am sending more and more patients in for Covid testing. Until a couple weeks ago about 3 a week, in the past couple weeks that has increased to 3 a day. I can really feel the rise in Ohio daily cases. My wife is a nurse at our largest hospital and they went from one dedicated Covid floor two weeks ago to now 3 floors two weeks ago. She has 3x been pulled from her MedSurg floor to float to the Covid floors. Fortunately there are no plenty of equipment for her to wear, but her anxiety level is way up lately.

        Hey, Butch, good to hear from you. I've been on meds now for close to a month and all seems to be going okay.

        The band practices every Wednesday night, weather permitting. We are playing in an outdoor gazebo until it gets cold. Don't know what happens after that.
        Glad you are okay. All the best, buddy,
        George

        Hey, Doc, I can only hope and pray that you and your wife will stay safe and healthy.

          GeorgeB thanks so much, and the same prayers go out to you so that your heart rhythm will be playing only the best of times!
