Feel for you mate .. it has to be done to safeguard your eyesight, but oh man it is such a disruption too. Especially for an active person like you. Doing great though despite it all.

Doing OK here .. working out carefully to avoid too much strain on some of the muscles in my hip that are playing up, a bit of an inherited thing going on there. But could be worse. Feeling good at the moment. body seems to be adapting to the new cholesterol drugs too. So not too bad all in all thanks.
