How terrible for you. I know how disappointed you must be but my hat's off to you for sticking it out as long as you did. Sciatica pain alone would be enough to make most people stop but you had that and the wind and rain and still hung in there. Chalk this one up to experience--there will be more centuries. You were smart to listen to what your body was telling you even though you didn't like what you were hearing. I hope you get to feeling better. That's a tough one
