Walking the talk

In 2005, just days before my wife and I were to visit family in Wales for the Christmas holidays, I was suddenly struck with intense pain in my back. I found it very difficult to walk, breathe, or even lie down again.

This was pain I'd dealt with many times in the past. A medical doctor had diagnosed the condition as a slipped disc and recommended a strict regimen of chiropractic treatments and medication. I usually spent up to three weeks on bed rest during these episodes.
