Went to work on Monday and Tuesday. Not today - my body is screaming "NO"! When I got home yesterday, after only 5 hours, I was exhausted and in pain. It was raining and I slipped on the crutches but didn't fall thank God. However, the clenching of my foot and ankle from the slip gave me hardcore pain for the rest of the day. Its incredible how sensitive everything is. Aches and pains come from all sorts of weird places in my hips and lower back. The bottom of my foot (broken bones side), gives off these bizarre phantom pains that stretch all the way up to my thigh sometimes. I call the pain phantom because I don't know why or where they come from - I'm sure they are part of the healing process though ...
Tomorrow I play a gig at The WISE Hall (www.thewisehall.ca) with Eldorado (www.eldoradotheband.com). We play with the Abramson Singers and Buffaloswan. It will be a great down-home country swingin'/hipster fun night at a great hall. I love play at the WISE Hall!
After I see the kids today - yes, I'm excited! - I am going to band practice for a couple new songs we are working on as well as I Won't Back Down by Tom Petty. Easy enough tune but, as always with Tom Petty, beautifully constructed with his signature laid-back tempo. I'm hoping I won't be too exhausted for tomorrow, when I see the surgeon and I get my cast changed and stitches taken out. I'm looking forward to that!
