I guess the official countdown has started : still 4 days to go before the end of my 2 and a half month sick leave. I'll be glad to go to work again, but boy, I now already know that the first few days are going to hurt. My back is fully recovered; the last two weeks have been filled with playing sports, and my back is keeping up nicely. All this excercise has one disadvantage though : I'm so tanned that it looks as if I have spent the last month on a Mediterrean holiday instead of sick leave...
