Peter, I send forth soothing healing energy to you and yours.  Do your best to keep looking on the bright side.

My guess is that you will like that area.

Yeah - we do.  But - even though we're renting, for now at least - I searched for a house like ours (4 br, 2 bth, 2-story, 100 years old) for sale to see what things are like.   Average price for that is ~$1.1M;  it's looking like I'll be stuck in a tacky <10-y-o cookie-cutter subdivision house for the rest of my life - which She is fine with, but just makes me itch (the pix you've posted of your place make me think you probably understand, Dave......).

Yes, I do.

When we lived in Colorado prices use to drop off quite a bit if you looked east of I-25. I worked in Boulder but we lived in between Berthoud and Loveland due to more reasonable prices at that time plus you could get 1/2 acre to 1 acre lots when at that time further south was dense subdivisions or minimum of 17.5 acres. I have family in Denver and while it wasn't a 5 minute drive it didn't take that long to get down there. Also with the tollway I could be to the airport in the same amount of time with a lot less traffic. We liked the area. Just keep in mind it is very dry so drink plenty of water.  Also take time to get use to the altitude as it can sneak up on you pretty fast.

Hey Peter..Good luck!   Once you are in CO you will love it.  The hands too, i don't envy that at all.

Well, back from the seeing the lovely young surgeon, and it's official; she's going to schedule me for carpal tunnel release on my left hand (and hope she can do it; it's minute-by-minute on elective surgery, and she's not even sure she'll be allowed to do the ones scheduled for tomorrow).

Downside (besides the actual pain from getting sliced & diced):  No playing for about 6-8 weeks, and maybe a year for full recovery.
Upside: If it works as well as the release on my right hand in '96, I'll be good for the duration.

Rootin' for ya' Coz... the softest of places for guitar-playin' sound-guys. They're the ones who know what we need, versus what we want.

Peter, wishing you the best for a 110% successful procedure followed by a swift, easy, and full recovery.   And it's your golden opportunity to ask your surgeon the classic vaudevillian question: "Will I be able to play the violin when it's all done!"  hehehehe

Bill, tgo

Watched an interview with Eric Johnson today; we was saying how a layoff can bring a fresh perspective to ones playing, which is something I can attest to.  So, possibly another upside in addition to pain relief.

Good luck, Peter, hope all goes well and a speedy recovery!

During our appointment, the lovely young surgeon told me that the World Health Organization had been quarantining people's pets, but discovered that, while felines can catch & carry COVID-19, canines cannot, and so are no longer being quarantined.

Yes, that's right - WHO let the dogs out..............................
