Golding recuperating after back surgery

Former Prime Minister Bruce Golding says it will take some time before he returns to the public eye following his recent back surgery.

Golding returned to the island last Friday from Florida where he underwent major lumbar spine surgery at Jackson Memorial Hospital on July 30.

This was the third such surgery for the former prime minister who reportedly has had back issues for years.

Last month, the Golding family indicated it could be several months before he fully recovers from the surgery.

The family said he has been fitted with a special back-brace to help stabilise his spine during the healing process and that he is receiving extensive physiotherapy.
