For somewhere you could seek peace/tranquilty/rehabilitation?

I had a spine operation earlier in the year that seemed to be going well. In August the pain returned with a vengeance. After having an MRI, the surgeon told me that my lifestyle (which does involve lots of heavy lifting) is what fucked my back up again. (She didn't literally use that terminology..)

Where I live now, is between 2 cities and really busy.

-I'm thinking of staying somewhere, perhaps near the coast, after the next procedure, to give myself a chance to properly recuperate. Perhaps for a month or 2.. as long as I had wifi, I'd be fine.

After the first operation, within 24 hours of having my spine drilled into, I was heavy lifting (really stupid I know, but at that point I didn't have any choice - long story.)

This time I have enough savings to tap into, to bide some time and properly recuperate.

..Coastal I thought because some light walking near the sea might be therapeutic..but I'm honestly undecided.

Any suggestions?

Well firstly hope all goes well and you do receive a speedy recovery but I'd choose Scotland beautiful scenery plenty of coastal areas and I found it very relaxing taking in all this beauty reatis a breath of fresh air...

Good luck with the op.

Coast is great, and fortunately we have a lot of it!

Wales and Scotland are good options, but so is the north east (Northumberland is stunning).

Dpo you need any formal rehab, physio or what have you? That will narrow down choices.

The main rehab I had was with a physio after the first operation. -It was over the the phone because of covid and with some exerscise and stretch routines he had sent in the post.

Northumberland is somewhere I've never considered. ..I have a book of coastal walks near the wirral I've still not done any of them..

I like Scotland,like the previous poster and yourself suggested - and wales..

Thanks, I'll put all these suggestions the shortlist.

Good luck with the operation op!

I’ve had spine surgery some years ago now, so I’d say if your planning on going away to recover make sure you have someone with you who can help you with getting dressed, shopping etc. Take it slowly, sitting up and walking for small periods and build from that.

Where ever you go take it easy

Best of luck OP with the rehabilitation! I'd second the poster who said Scotland, admittedly the weather can be dire but there's something beautiful and bracing about the coastline at all times of the year. The Scottish highlands is good for the soul I think.

Peace and tranquillity are in the mind not your environment. Stay at home, get in touch with your mates, enjoy a new hobby or one that you let lapse. Take up cooking, read books, walk your local footpaths you’ve never been down, sort your photos out and print ones you love. Don’t assume that by transplanting your body you can find peace and rest

gave up the London rat race in 2006 and live in a fairly quiet seasidey/farmey part of Wales now instead.

Culture shock took a while to adjust, but did me the world of good. Health comes first.

I do like that film ring of bright water, where that guy leaves london and goes to live in a cabin in the highlands..

The isle of mull is also a place i've been wanting to check out for a while.

I get that, works best if it’s a place that already means something to you. But I think having a plan of how you’re going to pass your time, not where, is more important. Go somewhere beautiful without a plan, you will be bored of that beauty sooner, and the shock of returning may be less if you’ve made peace in yourself rather than only finding it where it’s beautiful etc. this operation sounds big though, so no more heavy lifting wherever OP goes, unless it’s a glass

I do have a plan, yep, which involves working online, all i need being the wifi & not much else. The gear I'm planning to take with me will be minimal (and lightweight).

I was in the Highlands in September. Absolutely stunning and it will be quiet now. You could have a spin round the NC500. Failing that, from where you are North Wales/Snowdonia has got to be a good bet.

It is very much and as you say a cabin something very unusual given that extra bit of freedom to relax mentally it is unbelievable and mentally helps recovery as their is so much beauty it's unreal the beaches are clean peaceful and then the wildlife

I did stay in a village called "beddgelert" which is on the side of the of snowdon, a few years ago, very nice place.

(I've probably done about 70 hikes in the lake district , back when my mobilty was good, so I'm looking at other places to see..)

Made a note of the NC500

Having had spinal disc surgery a couple of years back, I feel for you, OP. Wish you a speedy recovery. Can't recommend a specific place but definitely stay away from hilly places! Soft, flat coastal beaches with lots of sand seems a great way to recuperate.

Stockport

If you want to get away from everything, the extreme north west of Scotland is bloody beautiful. It can get busy during the summer, I once saw a second person when I was walking on the beach! Take binoculars, look for seals and dolphins in the sea, eagles above the hills, deer just wandering along the roads. Traffic jams that consist of one stopped car with somebody looking at wildlife, where you don't complain about the delay, you get out and take a look yourself. It's somewhere that you can slow down and have a better type of life for a little while, let body an mind recuperate.
