Steps towards recovery

A big thank you to all those who have asked about my recovery (after my recent 2nd heart valve replacement and other complications).
I'm slowly getting back towards my previous level of fitness, but it's been tough.
​Taking one day at a time.
As a marker of progress, here's a picture from a recent walk I managed in a forest near Rotorua, New Zealand. It was hard work, and the ferns made me think a dinosaur might appear at any moment, but after I got my breath back it felt great to be alive.
