What was really good about the experience was the rehab which followed, which is always nicer to do when the weather is so good. “Two weeks later I was able to walk in without crutches to see a physio back home in Clare for a check-up and she was amazed. I was able to walk unaided, and just as importantly the excruciating pain had gone.”
