Just got back from hospital. Looks like I have some serious stuff coming up in about a month with my back. Major surgery this time and I will be out of action for about 6 months!!!!!!!
So, no more cars for me after these. I did predict this but it still kicks you when you find out. :(
-
Can sympathise with you Fin. Have similar problems myself, too many cars, not enough energy/health to look after them. Hope you get to fighting fit soon. :)

Good luck, I'm sure you'll be fine & it'll be project time in eight months or so :y
-
so single-handedly changing engines was a bit silly...
hope you get over it soon.
-
Best of luck with it all!
You will have to become a 'consultant' after this then ;)

Hello Mr McB Very sorry to hear that you now need major surgery on your back, i hope that every thing goes ok for you without any complications, and that you will be better than new afterwards. :y
Hope you are taking the news about the surgery ok, things like this can be very worrying.

Yes, whilst you're in hospital for a couple of days, get that Patient Line Internet thingie, as you'll have all day to watch ebay and buy up cars ;D

Thanks all.
Sorry to mislead. I am ok at the moment, just vthe usual back ache. Just not so good news on what needs doing now. Nothing will happen for a month until they do the pre-surgery MRI scans, then I will no doubt have to wait for weeks for surgery, but this is a big one and I will probably be in hospital for a few weeks. It will involve surgery directly on the vertebrae and within millimmters of the spinal chord. The implications don't bear thinking about.
Not a lot I can dop now except worry a bit, then worry some more.
Still. No popint whinging on about it. Right. Who's up for a fix ronnies oil leak party? ;)

Hi Fin. Sorry to hear about your back op, i had the same thing done 16years ago. I crawled around on the floor for six months unable to stand up for more than about two min at a time as i had four prolapsed disks at the base of my spine and the pain was like nothing i have ever experianced before or since, thank god. I really did not want the op as it is so close to the spinal chord and it worried me to death at the possible implications, however i had no choice in the end as i may never have walked again without the opperation, all i can say is i wish i had done it six months erlier, yes i still get some back ache from time to time and i have to watch what i do but other than that it transformed my life. So all i can say to you is all the worry, and you will worry, is put into the shade after the opperation, Go for it and good look :y

Good luck Fin, hope it all goes well :y

Is this the only way ? I mean surgery...Seems risky..As far as I know some kind of hormone injections can help a bit..without surgery..In the past one very close friend had similiar problem.But resist to have surgery .Struggled and finally solve the problem in different ways..

Good Luck with the coming surgery and I hope its a speedy recovery for you :y :)

good luck mate, hope it all goes ok for you :y
