Sorry to hear about your back problems Peter. I too have had back issues, but now do a daily routine of core strengthening exercises. I am also facing a total hip joint replacement in November which I will be paying for, because like in your area the hospital waiting list is lengthy - about 2.5 years I believe, and as I value my quality of life, I'm just going to bite the bullet and pay. However, I can still swim and will continue doing so. We will miss you and Kathy at Vanuatu this year. I hope your period of convalescence is brief and you can get back to what you enjoy.

Sorry to hear you have an injured back that hurts even when swimming, but lovely you have an idyllic spot in which to rest up. Hope you get some improvement soon.

I’m sure it’s temporary. Back in the pool soon
