Well that's me off my bike for a while

[Fubar]

Glad to hear the op went well, GWS @SatNavSaysStraightOn and do let us know how you are getting along. Best wishes, Mark

Sadly overnight was long hard very sore and with little sleep. So it am tired and rather grumpy at the moment.

My chat with my consultant earlier wasn't great. My back was a mess, the nerve root is very inflamed and going to take a while to settle (as in weeks to months) she removed 4 disk fragments from my back and had to do some work on the disc itself which she expects to have to operate on again in a few months time in all likelihood, but didn't replace it there and then because everything is too inflamed and irritated to be able to do anything with (I can't have anti-inflamatory drugs). She had also changed some of my drugs and put me back on diazapam overnight. She had also indicated that i will probably be in over the weekend...

Not feeling great at the moment, but I guess that was expected. I'd just forgotten what that felt like!

Not as good as we all wished/ hoped for - but you're so tough, you'll soon have the consultant sorted ...

Oh dear .... I can fully understand grumpy when you have had no sleep and in pain!

What are you having for lunch today, hopefully nicer than my cheese roll and a chewy bar! And have you sneaked in nice treats?

She removed the fragments that's good: She believes the inflammation will settle, that's good: She thinks she can do more for the disc, that's good. Sometimes it's hard to see the positives but they all seem positives to me.

Sorry to hear that you have had a rubbish night. There is nothing worse. I must have got your good night as I slept properly for the first time in about 3 months.

I too cannot take NSAIDs so know all about the fun that can be. I hope that the inflammation settles down and behaves sooner rather than later for you. Sending gentle via the internet.

A virtual hug from me too Emma!
Remember, not all is lost, there are better times ahead.

 

[Glow worm]

At least they got the fragments out which is good. Here's to hoping its weeks not months til you recover fully.
I'm sure things will improve from now on for you and sending you virtual hugs from me too

 

[Gains84]

Just read through all the thread, ouch doesnt even cut it but well done to you on your positivity and soldiering on through everything that has come your way - will be sending you good thoughts to get well soon!

 

[Roscoe]

Chin up, fingers crossed for you.

 

[Stonechat]

Still thinking of you
Hope it goes as well as possible
