Medical update.........

Well I feel I need to blog and give an update on my back situation. Fortunately we have web access in Canoa and I can reach the BBC web site very easily, however not a mention is made about my condition so I guess its been kept under wraps for the sake of the nations moral through these difficult times.

Things where going ever so well. After 3 days taking it easy and over dosing on IBUPROFEN I was feeling much better, but then after a trip to the loo for my morning constitution all hell broke lose as I tried to raise myself from the pan. Don't worry, there is no video evidence of this...... so don't ask.
The back gave way again and I was back to square one, but this time the pain and lack of mobility was even worst than last time.

So now we have decided to extend our stay and make sure I don't move from my bed for two or three days. No trip to the beach, no stroll to the shops and no wandering to the local bar. Just bed.

Anyone who knows me knows I am a patient man, blessed with long attention spans and abilities to remain still for indefinite amounts of time, so this is a walk in the park for me.

IT IS DRIVING ME CRAZY but all part of the motorcycling adventure I keep telling myself.

Sandra has gone straight into nurse mode and is looking after me, bringing food and beer almost upon request. She even took the bus into the next town today, the first time we have spent time apart since the trip began. Not many couples can boast over 4 months together without a break and without killing each other but we have, mainly because she is wonderful.

So there you have it, still knackered but on the mend again and refusing to go to the loo till this has all blown over
