You will start getting better as you play it more. The idea is to improve on what you have not to get the highest possible score. Bikehikebabe, I am 65 and have had both my hips replaced and re-replaced (Revision as the surgeons call it). The last surgery was eight years ago. I am alive, kicking and enjoying every moment of it. You too will. I guarantee that! rummusers last blog post..<a href="http://rummuser.com/?p=222" rel="nofollow">Why do I blog?</a> Jean, you are right.

He'll rip open my shoulder & cut muscle. Cut muscle is no muscle. 9 months for recovery. Poor me! Sob (literally) :( I decided to use the cheerfulmonk & stresstopower approach & give this a positive spin. 1. I'm 75 and still alive. (rhyme intended) 2. It's an expensive operation & my insurance will pay. 3. I'm motivated to do the work to get back to normal. 4. My shoulder will never hurt again. 5. I'll have more mobility.

(Jean) My husband does "Guitar Hero" on full song, fast speed & does many songs very well. He considers it as play. I'm stuck on my 1st song, slow speed & do badly. I'm realizing I think of it as a recital. The result is so important to me. Every time a chord is late or wrong, I get a loud clang :( “…so if I worry about how I’m doing I tense up.” (Jean)
