Annie Lennox Quote
"I could only drag my leg around the house. Something told me urgent action was required. I had micro surgery on Friday morning. This is the fifth time I've gone under the scalpel and each time I think it's miraculous. I can now walk again slowly, without the drag, but it's going to take at least six months of physiotherapy before I start to walk more normally again."4
