Going into hospital soon
Tuesday, September 8, 2009 by Fuzzy Logic | Discussion: Community
Some of you might know I have a bad back. No less than two prolapsed discs in the lower spine. Well next Thursday I'm going into hospital for an injection in my spine. Scans have shown the nerve which goes into my left leg is twice the size of the right...
I should only be in overnight, but I'll have about a week at home recovering.
My back isn't too good right now. After moving my old 21" CRT to make way for a new widescreen, I'm paying for it with extreme pain.
Right now I'm on a maximum dose of Dihydrocodeine and Diazepam, the combined effect of which I'm lead to believe is like taking heroin... Needless to say I have this odd feeling of invincibility

Hope the injection works for you for a while. They worked great for me for a few days, at least until it leaked out.
In the states it's out patient surgury...in and out in about an hour, which is a good thing...over here hospitals can kill you.
Good luck, Superman

When I think of the pain that Dale has, and what he has gone through....and despite all that still contributes all he can here I gain a fuller respect for my mate from The Royal Marines....you're one helluva man Dale Jr. and I'm honored you're my friend.
A toast to you mate! One helluva man!

I've had a spinal fusion (two discs), bone spurs burned out of my right shoulder, and go every three months for nerve blocks in lower spine. Just had mu first double nerve block a week and a half ago. I feel for you.
Follow instructions.
Don't lift.
Rest and be well.
I'll be thinking about you.

Wow this is some kind of news!
I sure hope everything goes well and you get feeling better soon Fuzzy... I hate pain and also live with it here daily. But I've learned not to be taking too much of those pain pills. Seems they work great at first and then you get to where you are not feeling as good as you want with them.
But I know you that - so be careful and take care... we need you back here when get better.

Hi, FL, my prayers will be with you. I, too, have a bad back - arthritis and a dislocated something-or-other, and I'm in pain almost all the time. Get well soon, so you can keep putting out the good stuff you do!

I hope the surgery goes well Mike. You need to bring in a nurse to help you recover.......
Take care of yourself

re #36 What a lovely pair. Makes me want to have a nibble. Somehow, after seeing those two, a Big Mac seems so inadequate. Those are two enormous burgers
