Bad news
« on: 16 August 2007, 13:17:01 »

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.  :)

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? ;)
