It is a sad evening up here at the South Part Schoolhouse, The Great Rd, S. Peacham. We used our very last OSF onion for dinner!!!!! So, until your next crop is ready, maybe in a couple of weeks?, we will have to go to the grocery store.........

Hi Peter, my wife Zoe sent me your link because of your recent experience with back surgery. I had one myself 8 years ago and if I have any advice it is this, take the recuperative advice of doctors and pt's as the word of God (well, I'm an aetheist so that might not mean much, but you get my drift, eh?)My temptations to do activity after feeling better were tough to beat down as I'm a very active person, but it paid off in the (rear)end. I took it as a great opportunity to read all the Doestoevsky and other books over 800 pages in length I could find. Yeah, and I dig what you might be going through with feelings about the medical establishment too. Peace. Neil
