I just had my first sail this season after a dibilitating atrophy of
my left leg due to severe nerve compression and subsequent back
surgery. After all the depression and thoughts of selling the boat,
paying a yard to do all the work I used to do, having friends launch
the boat for me, I single handed it in reefing conditions. I've got
my life back. I'm so happy I could cry.

I take it that the back surgery must have been at least moderately
successful, then. Hopefully you will continue to heal and gain strength.
Keep the boat if you can. As you can see, it will be good therapy for you.
