"The feeling in my legs and waist have all come back now, pretty much my right leg, which is the leg I had done, is still a bit tingly and a bit weird. I've never really had surgery quite like this before, it does make me feel for all those people that have gone through things an awful lot worse."

Adam added that his recovery so far has been more painful than he believed it would be, admitting that he was "very lucky" to have a strong team on the farm to look after matters in his absence.

He said: "I'm very lucky to have a strong team on the farm who can do all the work. In three or four weeks' time, hopefully, I'll be back out and about," he said from his home."
