Chris and I have made the difficult decision to pull out of attending Toowoomba. My back is still giving me grief and I'm not sure I can manage multiple days on the road. On a positive note, I'm seeing a different and highly qualified "master" physio, who might have identified something causing my pain that MRI's and Bone Scans did not see. I was looking forward to sharing in a toast to acknowledge and celebrate the life of our friend STroppy, who is sadly missed by all of us in OzSTOC. His passing has knocked me around, and I was brought to tears at his post before the border run when he expressed the view that it might be his last.
