Thanks to everyone for the kind comments and timely advice on the last post. I really appreciate the friendship in the blogging community, and even though most readers are far away, it beats having no community at all and I know that readers all care about one another. It is a sense of camaraderie that I never expected when I began blogging! Pretty cool.
My recovery from my last relapse has been steady, but slow as I expected. I have spent the majority of the time in bed flat on my back, but I took a big step forward today. I walked Ben to school, with Amy’s help. I did OK on the way there, but I think I overdid it a little so on the way home, Amy locked arms with me to keep me steady, so I felt a lot safer. She did mention that I was a bit wobbly, but what do you expect for my first major outing since Saturday.
I can tolerate a little more sitting down, but have to get up every 10-15 minutes to avoid pain. I think that at this rate I should be able to get some work done via telecommuting next week, which would be good because I have been bored out of my mind of the last few days. One can only sleep and lay down so much! I have decided to start writing posts again, but for a little while there maybe only a few a week until I get a bit stronger.
Well, all things being equal, the rest and painkillers are starting to work, so I can see light at the end of the tunnel again, it just got a bit cloudy for a while.

Hi Gavin,
Great to see your report of being back in the land of the vertical.
I really understand how those set backs really do your head in, even when you are trying your hardest not to let it.
Kind Regards
Belinda
Good to see some more words appearing on the blog, Gavin. It is nice the way people drop by and see how things are going, in blogland. All the best.
I’m so pleased to hear you’re on the road to recovery now, Gavin. Stay strong 🙂
