Sitting on an annular tear

Please don't fret that you got some words mixed up! It wasn't really difficult to understand you. My mails also have typos.

I have never tried to study Ayurveda (it's a vast ocean) and don't really have a book that I can recommend. The Internet is full of great resources though for anybody who wants to understand some aspects. I found this site for you - https://www.ayurveda.com/online_resource/ It would probably help you get started. All the best! :-)

Thanks for your wishes. I do still have a while to go before I can say I'm fine but yes, I do feel lucky that I can most likely avoid surgery as of now. This was a good wake-up call for me to start exercising.
