Sorry I'm a bit late reading this but glad to hear you're feeling better. With the very kind offer from Ginger ninger to help with the garden, you never know, you might have just got your self a new friend from it.
Also check out any local Chinese Medicine practices / shops - I was bent in two in complete agony with 2 twisted vertebrate and went to the local practice. After some serious manipulation, massage, cups and a few needles I was like a new person - seriously amazing.
(Mind you, luckily it was in Spain so I didn't understand what they were saying otherwise I might have freaked at the acupuncture but it really didn't hurt and have had more since and I'm a complete baby over needles)

but I don't worry - the place is full of wildlife and eventually I'll get the b*ggers out, until then, looking at the weeds is better than looking at the 40 foot tall Leylandii which were there before!
. I live in barnsley and i'm not working at the moment, if you want any help i'm available, the offer is there if you need me
