Back at the end of September, I was out running with my dog. I had new shoes, and the tip caught a slightly raised part of the sidewalk, and I went down hard. Broke my left wrist (the day after my piano teacher told me she was having all her students do a recital in 2 months). Fortunately, it did not need surgery, but I was in a splint for 1 week, then a full arm cast for 6 weeks, followed by a brace for another 4 weeks. I managed to do the recital with the brace (Bach 2 Part Invention No 4 In D Minor and Chopin Prelude op. 28 no. 3 in G major, though at a much reduced speed). Toughest playing I ever did, but I am glad I did. My teacher told me that she felt my injury had a silver lining in that it actually forced me to re-learn my left and become more precise and fluid. I still have some numbness, but I am back to about 90-95%.
