So I'm back.

Was laid a little low of late with a pesky back niggle that turned out to be quite serious. The long and the short of it is a sizeable cut along the spine that suggests the op that saw a portion of my disc removed. Sure am glad they read that properly in the pre-op briefing!

With the recovery time practically over, I’m getting into the swing of things with regular exercise and an acute awareness of my posture. Would I have this done again? Will probably need to! But yes. It’s a hellofalot better than prior to going under - so I’d recommend it to any one (who needs it).

Fhk is looking particularly good of late. Clear sunny days, occasional showers, ripening fruit, lush vines - a veritable paradise. Join us this weekend for the champagne festival and the local half marathon.
