Thanks for the kind wishes. Worst thing for me is that I'm nil by mouth even though I'm not getting seen till this afternoon! Hospital rang yesterday and told me to come in at 11 instead of 7 "because of the heat"

Got 4.5 gallons of Woodfordes Wherry... It's fairly local to me being from Norfolk and I know it will drop within 6 hours or so :y Hopefully I'll have some cans of Adnams too

I'll get something different for Newent but I'll also get a full 9 gallon barrel as we'll be going for just over a week!

Good and bad news really... Thinks it will help but might not solve the problem as something else has shown up under the Xray :-/

Indeed! But hopefully today will resolve it and I won't have to worry. I'll not really understand it until I see him in 3 months time but the last thing he said to me is that I may still need surgery to fuse my spine :'(

Feel like I've done a few rounds with Tyson!

Was expecting it though ;) Been told it'll probably get worse yet before it gets better too :'(

A little post-injection humour, to perk the spirits, LD:

::) Have you been given a series of pricks?.........

......darn that joker of a transplant surgeon! ;D

 
;D In view of the above: 'keep your peckers up!' :-*

Not all bad... I have a "Pars Defect". It may well not be causing any problems so we'll just wait in see :y

Not in as much pain as I was expecting this morning, which is good, and not planning to go much further than the bathroom, kitchen and the sofa today. Going to do as little as possible  for a few days to try and get on my feet as quickly as possible :y :y

Hope it's all gone well Paul and now on the mend. :y Back pain is a bitch as I well know having been plagued with it for more years than I care to remember.
You're not alone though, I'm just out of hospital following a third prostate biopsy and having a few days recovery at home. Can't even have a tea or coffee let alone a beer due to the bloody mega strong antibiotics they've stuck me on. :'( Still, will be ok for the Lakes. :y

I'm planning to make the lakes and will have a weekend off the painkillers so I can partake of a few shandies :-X ::) ;D

Unfortunately, because of the location of the Pars it is easy to miss unless using high powered, specific direction Xrays :( The Chiropractor had already diagnosed the slip of the spine, we just know how/why now ::) ::)

Hopefully it won't be a problem though... It's quite possible that it's been like it for a few years ;) ;)

(At least, that's what I keep telling myself!) ::) ::) ;D ;D

I often wonder about the logic of taking scans lieing down for a spine issue. The machine dictates obviously, but the spine is not under the same srtrain as standing up....? Seems to me.  :-/

Don't know what you mean Albs ::) ::) ;D ;D

Bit of an update... I'm beginning to feel much better now :y This morning I woke up in about the same pain as I have been for the last 7 months so I'm hoping that I'm at least back to the position I was in Wednesday morning before the surgeon got his hands on me!
