And the good news is that my Dad took part in a concert last night. He's been a violin player most of his life, but obviously his operation last year meant he had to stop.
He's been going to rehearsals for a while, first as an observer, but more recently he's been playing.
Last night will have been a big marker point in his recovery, and a welcome break from other troubles for my mum (see other recent post).
I'm really glad that he's back to his violin in this way too. He'll be unstoppable again soon.

 Good to hear. Life sort of balancing itself out a bit, I guess. _________________My Flickr | Snaptophobic BloggageHeather Kay: modelling details that matter. "Let my windows be open to receive new ideas but let me also be strong enough not to be blown away by them." - Mahatma Gandhi.

Thank, all.
This is certainly excellent news. Not only this, but he recently changed his car and is now driving long distances. I am truly staggered at the speed of his recovery - I was expecting him to take much longer.

Absolutely. The concert was in St Albans Cathedral - a place where he’s always wanted to play, so he’s dead happy about it.
