About this blog

I started learning to play the Bassoon in 2015 as part of Making Music's Grade 1 Challenge: to learn to play an unfamiliar instrument to ABRSM Grade 1 within a year*. I have combined this with my 2 previous blogs, and will write about a variety of topics, some of which may be bassoon-related.

It's me back, doctor! Part 2


Here's the relevant part.

This is not actually bad news. In fact it confirms what I told my GP back in May. I have a trapped nerve in my back, and that is why I fell down during a rehearsal for Brahms' German Requiem. Twice. On different occasions, two or three weeks apart. My GP thought I might have had a TIA, a mini-stroke, so I was investigated on those grounds.  I hope this information will result in the "probable TIA" diagnosis being removed from my medical records.

I look forward to the referral and management plans. 

Pip-pip!
