A SHORT MESSAGE - THE BACK STORY

This is a short message and thank you to everyone for being so patient and supportive

throughout all the issues with my back! For those of you who don’t know, sometime between

January and May 2025, I ended up with a pretty bad slipped disk. The main problems, apart

from pain and reduced mobility for a while, is that I really can’t sit down for very long at all

and this impacts just about everything that should be happening behind the scenes, as well

as travelling (especially driving), carrying anything and even enjoying a meal around a table.

I’ve been resting, swimming, doing physio, getting out and about when I can to concerts and

meeting people, and putting on a few “low maintenance” shows, but overall it has been a

pretty frustrating year, at a time when so many opportunities have been popping up. I hope,

if you have tried to work with me, that I haven’t let you down, and if I haven’t had the

capacity or capability, that sometime in the future these collaborations can find new life. For

those of you who I am in regular contact with, and we have been able to bounce ideas

around, and keep things flowing, thank you; this year has definitely not been lost!

It isn’t completely better, so writing, creating and corresponding are still physically painful,

but the recovery times are shorter, the disk has almost healed itself, the nerve pain is

gradually reducing, and slowly I’m getting back to normal (whatever that might mean!). The

jury is out as to whether I should have had an operation last summer, but it’s too late for that,

and possibly long term it’s better this way. My body has had to figure it out for itself, and will

hopefully be stronger for it. All I can say is that I can’t wait to be able to run back up the hill

and dance all night, and even help with moving equipment and setting up events….. and that I know this day will come.

So thank you again for being here, and let’s look forward to summer, autumn and winter

filled with music and opportunities to get together. Actual Newsletter is incoming!

Rock n keep on Rolling Grüsse,

Sarah
