Practicing with a leg injury

[neverfinished]

I tore something in my knee and fractured part of my leg. Since the injury, sitting at a piano bench has been uncomfortable. My right leg can't be in a normal position, which impacts the distance of the bench from the piano, which forces me to hunch my back to reach the keys. I suspect this will be a problem for a few months.

Is there some way that will allow me to physically practice more than fifteen minutes at a time? Maybe I'll spend some time with the church organ; the raised bench and manuals will let my leg dangle. Has anyone else had a similar problem?

Good news. No surgery. I expect to get better soon, and it will take care of itself.

Pedal with your left foot for the time being? That leaves your right foot to dangle however it wants to while it recovers.

I was going to suggest the same thing ! Good call, I had knee surgery a number of years ago and understand fully this situation. The good news, today I even ride a bicycle for 15 or 20 miles at a time and of course play piano and pedal it using my right foot..
