They are starting me off very slowly with just tiny exercises.

So I'm starting my songwriting life... :) I think I can generate music in something like Muse Score... so I can work on my melody, etc without actually physically playing... And I'll be doing singing lessons via 30 Day Singer.

I'm also adopting a cat tomorrow, so that will be something new to keep me company and lift my spirits. Maybe I'll write a song about him and sing to him...ha!

Though I didn't need surgery, I've had some wrist and index finger issues that needed a wrist brace so to an extent, I get a little of that deal. I didn't play for a few months. But, you're getting it done and that's important.

And a cat. Nothin' wrong with that!

Good luck!
