  2. Dave, hang in there and keep your spirits up. Any idea when the scan is going to take place. I tell you I have been feeling crappy for a while also, I think it is just the season with all kinds of viruses and stuff floating around. Keep us updated.

  3. Great news Dave. My wife, Karen, has had a sinus infection which has kicked her @$$, I cannot imagine being under treatments and getting one. I hope you fell better and better each day.

  4. Mo, sounds like the post PCI Scuzzies. I started feeling real tired and just plain old worn out and kinda funny feeling about a month after my PCI was over. I am still fighting to get my energy back. Some days I feel great and some I just feel wierd and bad at the same time. Karen says I have turned into a bear on my bad days and I guess I have. hang in there and let us know how you are doing. I alo got somekind of a bug they could not pinpoint.

  6. ashmegsmom, I am so sorry you are here but this is a good site for you. A diagnosis is not a death sentance. There are plenty of people here who have proven the Doctors wrong. Try and keep her spirits up and instill in her to fight like she has never fought before. This disease can be beat. Make sure the Doctors are doing everything they can. Ask a lot of questions and be an advocate for her. Don't hesitate to get a second opinion. Ask as many questions on this site as you need also. There are a lot of very knowledgable folks here. You and your family will be in my prayers.

  7. Laurie, I listened to Claude Bollings Toot Suite for Trumpet and Piano a couple of times over the past few days. Maurice Andre does a wonderful job, if you do not have any recordings of him you should get some. He is by far the best classical trumpet player in the world. I cannot find my recording for the Flute and Piano. If I were to record anything for a LCSC CD it would probably be Piccolo Trumpet and Organ pieces. I have a long way to go. My Doc wants to make sure my brain is back to normal after my PCI. He does not want me to have a brain anurism while playing from weakened blood vessels in the brain from the radiation and I must say I have to agree with him. Keep practicing.

  8. Add me and my Karen to the list. We are going to Glacier Nat. Park in Montana the first week of August for a family reunion and my Mother has all kinds of hikes planned. My sister used to work there so we have all been just not in years and years. So, Karen and I need to drop a few (to say the least) lb.'s and get into shape. Karen is the cook so she will be in charge of our diet but we will need all the help and suport we can get and will be willing to do the same for others.

  9. Yeah, I was going to go to Berkley but their Jazz program was not up to snuff. JUST KIDDING!!! That's great. I am familiar with Claude Bolling although it has been a while since I listened to the suite for Flute and Piano. Good luck in the practice room. You are doing it for a great cause. The wine is a great idea but it would eat into the profits........unless you could get it donated.

  10. Laurie, I am also a trained musician and must admit you have a wonderful idea. I was a proffessional Trumpet player for 13 years traveling up and down the east coast in a variety of bands such as Top 40, Blues, Jazz, traveling shows, Ringling Bros. Circus, Brass Ensembles Etc. I was going to try and play the X-mas cantata at my church this x-mas but just could not get it together in time. Imagine, a trumpet player with lung cancer, now that really sucks!! Anyway your stage fright is all in your head.....I know, easy for me to say. I used to get scared and beat myself up over every little thing that did not come out the end of the bell just exactly the way I wanted it to. The thing that really helped me was when I just let go and said to myself, I am good and if the people out there don't agree then they can go spit (Of course I used stronger terms than that!!!) If you are trained and confident in your abilities as a musician then trust in yourself. Also just remember 99.9 out of 100 people listening are not going to know if you make a mistake and also they would not be there unless they wanted to hear you. As for the nude thing I used that to but sometimes you can get a little distracted and loose your place, ha,ha. No seriously, just concentrate on your music and the enjoyment you get out of playing. I am going to give serious thought to seeing if I can do the same. Good luck to you. My prayers will be with you.
