I've read every book in my house...........again :o(
An enforced period of inaction isn't not quite as much fun as you think it is going to be ! I'm actually very lucky in that I can just concentrate on recovering, with no regard to having to get back to an employer, etc. I am currently working and am lucky that it's all computer-based. I also have another couple of projects coming up in the next couple of weeks which ought to nicely dovetail with my increased mobility.
All in all, things (touch wood) seem to have worked out quite well.; hopefully, the operation will have been a success, too............it's a little too early to tell yet.
