2 months after my 3rd surgery, after 2 years of injury (hernia and incompetent vein) and only basic mobility, I can finally hike up this again:

The hernia was repaired over a year ago, so hiking is no longer a huge risk factor for the hernia, and the surgeon gave me the go-ahead for climbing mountains regarding the vein repair. :D

    That's beautiful. Where is it?

    Remember to take it easy though at first, don't want any more injuries.

    Thank you. It is called castle hill, is about 300m, and is right in the centre of my town. I used to hike up this thing multiple times a week. I even used to run the 3km up the road (with one break, heh). It is one of my favourite places, so it is wonderful to be able to climb it again.

    Also, I added a quick disclaimer regarding the injury:

    Both are about 1600m. I am so excited to be able to move again.
