Re: Injuries.....:(
Dear Plummy
My late Mum had a spinal op in her 70s, she couldnt even shuffle let alone walk, afterwards she recovered very well until a decline in her late 80s/90s
The surgeons can do amazing things
Sending you big hugs and lots of luck

A great historical place in Edinburgh is
The Real Mary Kings Close where you go down underground into the original streets beneath the Royal Mile
And the guided ghost walks also
