Alex reading your story just shows how strong you really are and seem to overcome all obstacles thrown at you, most people with your health issues would have given up long ago.
You are an inspiration to all and when hurdles come my way i often think, and say to my self, " Well Alex can do this so can I"
Your back pain may have been the result of your ladder experience, it doesn't take much to upset that area, Ask Alice, sometimes she just makes the bed and it off for a week and can hardly walk.
That is why her Son used to say, "see mum that's why I never made the bed when I was younger"
Stay well my friend,
Leon
