Hi Anita. Sorry for the late reply, I’m not in very often lately … way too busy playing in 3 bands and giving guided meditaitons to friends and small groups 🙂 …

The accident was a simple thing … At 70 yrs old, and with the mind of a 35 yr old, I tend to forget myself sometimes. I had been sitting on the floor watching TV while my wife lay on the settee behind me. I think I must have been pinching one of the larger nerves in my right leg (sciatic maybe) because when I got up to go to bed, my right leg was as controllable as a tube of cotton wool …

It gave way and I came down like a felled tree. In the process of going down, I sort of twisted and bent at the waist. My head went to the left, my legs fell away to the right .. and I landed imn a double whammy, straining my right-side quadrus lumborum .. it stretched the muscle and affected the attachment at the ribs end, so now, if I’m not careful, I get a viscious twinge in my right lower back when standing up from a chair.

Other than that there is no serious damage, except that the outer side of my right leg is bruized deeply, and my hip joint aches from the over-rotation … but after a week, I’m back to 5km per day walking, so when it’s all active I’m good .. Though I don’t think I’ll be doing any mad antics at any of my rock band performances for a good few months to come … 🙂

Thanks for your concern.

Much love

Kevin
