00:00 It's been a very, very, very unhealthy year for me, Paul.
00:04 I know.
00:04 The shingles.
00:05 I'm really... I'm sorry about that, mate.
00:07 Worst, um, healthier of me life, to be honest.
00:09 And you know what? It was worse than my heart period.
00:13 With this, you had misery and pain in equal measure, didn't you?
00:16 Yeah.
00:17 Yeah.
00:18 Your nervous system, Paul. What is it? What even is it?
00:21 Electricity of some sort going round?
00:24 I don't know, Bob.
00:25 At the moment, my, um, consultant is saying I'm heading for 80% muscle recovery in me leg.
00:34 Right.
00:35 And she said you'll just have to see what that means for you.
00:39 They're saying you'll never re-gain...
00:41 No. Some of the...
00:42 Really?
00:43 The muscles I've lost, I've lost. But other ones can compensate for it, do you know what I mean?
00:48 So you can't, like, dose up on protein and do exercise and regain that muscle?
00:54 I can make the other muscles stronger.
00:57 Wow.
00:58 But I have a terrible feeling I'm never going to be able to run again.
