I got yet another phone call about my website from my friend Rod tonight (see Good Friends to the Rescue). I guess I am going to have to set Rod up with his own page somewhere if he keeps playing such a prominent role on my blog! Anyway, he felt that I didn’t fully cover all of the material when I was describing my experience performing Brandenburg and Soldier’s Tale with the CSO (see Dueling with Pinchas).
What was the part I left out? It was the part about having a bicycle accident on Monday of BRANDENBURG WEEK and fracturing my pelvis. Yeah — that.
I was at the emergency room until 1am while they took x-ray after x-ray, trying to determine why, when I tried to walk, I would crumple to the ground like a kleenex box under a pile driver. They finally found the guilty pelvis, told me that there was nothing to do but take pain meds and wait for it to heal, gave me a crash course with crutches, and sent me out the door. T minus nine hours and counting until I would be onstage playing Brandenburg with Pinchas Zukerman and the Chicago Symphony. Somehow, this wasn’t how I had always dreamed it.
There’s more to the story, but that can wait for another time. Right now, I am going to go be thankful for not having a fractured pelvis!
Dekuji za nabydku… Jsem pocten
Anyone know Czech? Hopefully, the above comment doesn’t tell me to go stick it! I actually think it is something complimentary, but sadly I really have no clue. Anyone else?
