Health Update - Thank you so much everyone (Patreon)

Thank you so much everyone for all your good vibes, kind words, wishes, prayers and anything you did to help me start to feel better. A week later and I am feeling much much better. 

While I feel almost 100 percent I am still going to be taking it very easy. What does that mean. It means no gigging here in Medellín, no traveling to band practice, no late night jams, no late nights at all, no spicy food, no caffeine, no sugar, no alcohol, nothing fried and nothing processed. I am going to be very strict with the diet through out the holidays. Because of the increased amount of sedentary time in my life due to the corona virus I am actually looking forward to making some of these changes as they will help me lose some of my pandemic belly (Pandemic belly.... wow 2020) While it does look like I am better for the time being, the doc told me that my stomach problems can flair up from time to time if I don't take care of myself... and even if I do, if let the stress get out of hand. So, I don't expect to never have problem again, but hopefully through good better diet and less stress I can minimize any future incidents, making them less frequent and minimizing the severity as well. 

Well, what I am I going to do then? As I do feel better I am going to be playing A LOT. My plan is just to practice all the instruments in my house as much as possible and have fun doing it. I used the resting time to take a little rest from social media but I am back to working now. I am doing it at a healthy pace, I'm not staying up all night editing, I am doing things with plenty of foresight so I can do them slowly and stress free. I'd also like organize  Tenthumbspro.com with one of our Patreons, I am writing a book for Ukulele with another Patreon, and I am looking to create new content that is fun and educational, and musical, of course. 

Thank you so much, the support you showed me was amazing. I can tell that you all really do care about me, I was not expecting to see that much of a response, I wasn't expecting to see people get that concerned, when I was showing my wife all the comments I got a little emotional, I know that we are a community, I know you like learning with me, but I didn't realize how many of you truly care about me as a human and on another deeper level and it was incredible touching. I have so much love for all of you, thank you. 

I always knew we had something special going, I thought I knew how special it was too, but I guess I didn't realize HOW special it was, if you notice a little extra twinkle in my eye moving forward that is me knowing how much love there is here, and that is me putting that love right back into the lessons so you can feel as loved and connected as I do. 

You are all amazing.
