I have finally returned to the idea of playing sax after 9 years! I still have my old alto and soprano and I still remember all the fingerings and some scales. I have a permanent mark on my lower lip from my embouchure from playing through all of grade school, so it came back so quickly :) Any recs on what books I should work through to get back into it?
I was recently told that I would be a good candidate for an iliac stent to help my pain, but the Dr gave me a few considerations. I am young (27) and married just over a year ago. I want to have kids in a few years. The main consideration is that with a stent I’d have a higher risk of clotting during pregnancy and would need to take lovanox. She told me I can choose to just have venoplasty (ballooning the vein to stretch it, nothing gets implanted), but that this would be a temporary solution.
I know I will definitely eventually get the stent, but right now I’m weighing the slightly elevated pregnancy risk vs the pain and discomfort that I currently feel regularly. Can people who’ve gotten pregnant with the stent let me know how it was?
Thank you!!
My husband is defending next month and I am going to get him a gift with an engraving. I just defended last month, but even I can’t decide which format would be better or which I’d personally prefer so I thought I’d ask the masses to get a general feel.
Which option would you prefer:
Thanks for your help in my informal data collection 🫡
