Well, I'm back. Sort of. The last few weeks have been really hectic for me and, I'm sorry to say, I completely neglected my blog. I'll make a few posts this evening to bring myself up to date, and then hopefully I'll be back to my daily(ish) routine.

So, what's been going on? Well, I've started back to work in the last couple of weeks after almost 6 months off sick. I have two prolapsed discs in my lower spine. I had my first operation to correct the problem back in October - but that wasn't a success. I've been through 3 months of physiotherapy, but that didn't cure me either. The next step was a much more invassive operation to remove the problematic discs but I've decided not to go ahead with it. Too risky. My surgeon gave me the odds of nasty side affects (like permenant dunbness in the legs) and I reached for the door.

Anyway, the upshot is I'm working from home for the time being...easing my way back into things whilst I undergo further treatment. I can't believe how hard it is catching up. I've spent the last 6 weeks doing lots of work-type stuff in preparation of 'coming back', but it doesn't feel like it's really helped me a great deal. Great! :o/

More soon...
