In case anyone is still interested in the details of how building the practice back up (or not) is going.
Hit and miss but two good day's, Monday and yesterday ( full Primary) even managed some dropbacks Friday.
All seems to depend on where the Kidney stone is. Managed two Full practices but I don't think the Stone is out, there's still some pain there but it doesn't seem to be getting in the way of practice, not currently anyway (touchwood).
managed full primary twice this week, case now of stringing six in a row.
Manju's DVD this morning, took it easy and skipped jumping back between sides. Decided to stop at Supta kurmasana as it was was feeling uncomfortable and I didn't want to push it.
Tomorrow is the Stream of Sharath's led primary LIVE from Moscow, wanted to get up and practice along with the Muscovite's, see how it goes although Sharath tends to go a little quick for my tastes.

This is how long it's been since I've felt well enough to get out to cut the grass.
My practice feels just as overgrown
