Most people are starting to get over excited by the thought of winter coming. Not me, despite actually enjoying last season I have a pretty good excuse this year not to be getting involved in the scottish winter season. 6 weeks ago I had surgery on my spine to try and stop it hurting which it has done for the last 2 1/2 years, all day evey day.
Fingers crossed it'll do the trick but the recovery process is not going to be super quick and carrying heavy rucksacks around the mountains is not recommended by any of the medical profession!!
First picture is straight out of hospital - and those are my pyjamas not my pants! The second is a day after the stitches and dressing came off, about 10 days after surgery.
Six weeks on it's all getting slowly,slowly, very slowly better. No longer do I get overtaken by old people and zimmer frames, I can walk at normal speed, do a little bit of swimming and can reach my knees! Shoelaces aren't great and sitting up for longer than 30minutes at a time is a no-no but according to the physio all is going very well.
I'll post some updates as the winter goes along, maybe if I'm really good I'll get to do something roadside in Wales at the end of the season if I can persuade someone to carry everything!
