Back Update...3 Months and counting...

BACK UPDATE...May 14th - 13 WEEKS. Yes, incredibly it has now been 13 weeks, three months, since the L5 disc in my back decided to herniate. For some reason, unknown to man, I haven't quite cracked up, yet! There is progress, and I have now had three courses of ozone injections, with more to come. It's a slow improvement, but I can get up and about in the house, and have even ventured out to the kiosko. Blessed by my nurse, who really deserves sainthood for putting up with me, and my friends who have ventured over to visit, and others who call me regularly for updates and chat.

All being well, I aim to attend the Second Rio del Plata Hash this coming weekend, obviously not running, or even walking, but it will be great to get back into some form of normality. i attach a picture of the ozone treatment being injected into my lower back, so you can see how it works. It's been a long 3 months, it was summer when it happened, and now we have the heating on as winter draws near.... misses quite a bit of this year already, hopefully it won't be too much longer before I can get back to enjoying life again.
