A very belated happy birthday to another January baby. We are awesome! I am in the middle of packing to move to the city and have my grandson(six months old) come to stay for a while so I am not online much at the moment. Hope your healing progress is all good and you are table top dancing in no time. Hugs from the antipodes.

But for now....yes, recovery, not an easy or painless thing, but it does sound like you're making good progress. So happy about that. I decided to do a new blog ... the old one seems to be dead to all but those who go into my publisher's website and then it comes up, but I can't personally do anything on it. So this comment is also a test run to see if it will go to that new blog, which I wanted to do mainly to reconnect with the closest of my "old" Blogger friends who are still blogging. I don't expect a reply from you....yet....but will when you're really UP.
