@GinGin thanks, I will ask about this I think next clinic appt as keen to do the right things max improve.
Random crazy - I play a music instrument with a national comp in 2 weeks time so aiming to be onstage with my brass band! Reheasing this week very carefully again, thankfully I sit while playing, with most of work in my non-surgery side. I ask for help on any lifting (an 8 kg tuba so not ideal!, and I cant weight lift away from body), but it was ok once on my lap!! Just uncomfortable at times so cant stretch to reach around yet. Yes, Crazy I know. But achievable ✔️, just. Breathing is ok still post surgery whew! (I will have no problem holding breath for radio on deep inspiration breath hold).
