Your message has just come to the top of my list. I hpe you are feeling
much better by now, but don't overdo things. I my experience most of the
recovery from an operation is getting the anasthetic out of one's system
and this takes an astonishingly long time -months in most cases. Until
it is all cleared your energy levels will probably not pick up.

Your description of the information coming out of the Universities on
weeds and weedkillers is both funny and pathetic. When I think of the
precision which was demanded of us as botanical students  (just over
fifty years ago now) I feel standards have sadly slipped. I suppose half
the trouble is that the chemists dealing with teh weedkillers have very
little botanical knowledge, but surely they could find suitable
botanists to advise them.

As a dedicated organic gardener, I am not much into weedkillers anyhow,
but can see there would be occasions where a properly-matched one would
have its uses. As long as the information continues to be as woolly as
you suggest, though,  I should prefer to keep right away from all of
them!

Best wishes for your quick recoveery
