Having even the tiniest issue with your back can throw one’s whole day (week…or month) out of wack, so sustaining a major injury such as Cowell’s surely took the wind out of his normally in-control sails for a time.
I am at least glad that, even in his current mindset of silver lining celebration, Cowell did confirm that the first month or so after his accident was less than pleasant.
But, at least he’s been able to handle all of the work he’s had to do in order to get back on track with a positive attitude for most of the time, which surely helped him recover in a decent time frame.
