Lining up a date to perform, rather than rehearse,
is a challenge in itself.
It's easy for us to agree to rehearse in the evenings
when all the staff (except nursing for the clinic)
have gone home for the day,
and that one room with the grand piano is vacant.

Putting on something for our fellow clinic patients
is a different matter,
and we have roughly seven or eight days to make it happen
before the violinist's discharge.
It still isn't a set date.
Knowing how things get worked out when they are
activities outside the therapeutic schedule,
if it does happen it will be close to the last minute.
