This is a cheesed-off, whining thread →[More:]I'm stuck at home recovering from surgery while mr alto is away on the musical weekend I should be on (were it not for the surgery). And I've just been offered the opportunity of a lifetime, to go on a really cool musical event FOR FREE to replace someone else who can't go at short notice. Because someone thinks I'm awesome at playing music. And I can't take the opportunity because I can't play music because of the surgery.

Recovery is going fine, so nothing to whine about really, but I'm well enough now to get frustrated at all the things I can't do because I'm not well enough (if that makes any sense - before, when I was really ill, I didn't care about the opportunities I was missing).

So, folks, what are you doing this weekend, and what do you suggest I do to take my mind off all this (things that don't involve walking more than 100 metres)?
