I do realise how blessed and lucky I am. I know of someone who had an MVD which only helped for a short time. I'm not in the least complacent and there's a bit of me thinks the pain will return at some point, but best get on with life and not fret over what might be.
I've been fortunate enough to travel extensively over the last six years and have further trips planned for this year. Golf is still a big part of my life and I try to get at least four rounds in a week.
So my health is where I want it to be, but am mindful that at 60+, if I don't look after myself, it could be a temporary state of affairs.
Onward and upward!
