Practicing today was especially hard because I have completely lost my stamina. I have my wisdom teeth pulled 2 weeks ago and this is the first day of intense practice following surgery. The music is there however I am physically unable to do many of the things I want/need to do. I was extremely tired after 2 hours of practice and had to stop. I am trying to get myself back into playing shape! JUST STOP BITING GREG!
