Okay, I got my check up from the doctor today and he said I can gradually take the knee brace off for now and move into a smaller brace. No longer must I wear the large, straight-leg, bionic leg brace. JOY! But now the real work starts. I have major rehab I must to do if I want to get my knee back into shape -- well enough to endure any good physical movements in Into the Woods, and especially if I wanna get back to working out and the daily routine. My leg muscles are in a weak state and have to be rehabed back to prevent the knee from dislocating again. Never do I want to do that again.
Into the Woods is going well. It's a real challenge on my baritone range. But so long as I treat my voice right and pay attention to what I do, I think I'll be fine. I can't wait to start singing with music. I have a lot of lyrics to absorb, and I'm of that rare kind in the world who DOESN'T already have the whole show pre-memorized.
I'm such a dork though. I should be up and talking to everyone at the show and being more outgoingly friendly, but it's that shy-kid syndrome tugging at me. I do talk, but I should be the one going up to people and starting a conversation or introducing myself. I guess I'm still not a natural at that. Being that I grew up a very shy kid, this stuff isn't automatic for me. I hope people don't think I'm stuck up or something. Unfortunately, being shy or non-talkative gives off that impression.
