Down and safe...

from WinCustomize Forums

Thursday afternoon I had an operation on my back. For the techncally minded it was a micro discectomy and decompression L5 root S1 left side.

The op was a complete success with no complications!

However, for the next two weeks, I'm not allowed to sit for more than 15 minutes at a time. My online activity will be almost non-existant because of this  x_x

Have to go, run out of time already! See you soon.

quick recovery desired but don't over do it.

Ahhh yes, the old L5 disc and I mean old literally (considering it's gone)!  Mine shattered completely when I was 23 years old.  POOF!!! Gone ...... they called it "degenerative spinal arthritis". :S

Spinal problems are no fun at all, let me tell you!  Best wishes on your recovery Fuzzy!

L5-S1 with Lt. Sciatic Nerve compression. I know it well. Fuzzy... glad you got the help you needed. Speedy recovery, and no recurrence! Then - weight loss (swimming is the absolute best for this, after the wound heals, as well as some back and stomach muscle strengthening) ... Physical therapy and your doctor should advise you... :thumbsup:

Amazing what they can do through a straw these days.  GWQ!

Back pain, eh?  Got some of that right now, and in my neck - cruel as - but I'm told surgery is not an option.  Too risky, they say, though I'd bet pounds to a pinch of shit that if I had private health insurance some surgeon would be only too willing to cut me open.

Anyhow, Fuzz, all the best to you and I hope your healing is fast and relatively painless.

Thanks all.

Feeling quite well at the moment. No complications or infections, don't need any painkillers at all. It couldn't have gone better.

Starkers - I know what you mean. I got the NHS to pay for mine to be done at a private hospital http://www.hmthospitals.co.uk/claremont/ So what I should have had done 4-5 years ago only took about 6 weeks to get going ;)

Have to go now. I've had my 15 minutes online ;) I have to do some exercises then go for a short walk. Then it will be lunch time...

Glad there's little or no pain, Mike. The "4-5 years ago" thing... the surgery done on you wasn't as developed then and your surgeon has had the benefit of those 4-5 years of experience, as well... so, have no regrets.

starkers, I truly wish things were different for you, mate.

Yeah we have a similar scheme here, where my own doctor refers me to a private hospital/surgeon, but the wait is still quite some time... reason being, I cannot afford to pay.  It will happen... one day... in the meantime, however, there's always the meds...

Hmmm, getting high as a kite doesn't always have to be illegal.... starkers's 'Tramadol Nights', :rolleyes:

Yeah, me too... but at the end of the day, it's my state of mind and how I deal with it.  I chose to be happy and a fun loving bloke with a care-free attitude... and that is one step toward feeling well/better off.  It doesn't take away the pain completely, but at least I'm able to laugh/smile and not wallowing in self-pity.

'Stretching' exercises, then a walk ;)

Tramadol keeps me awake, di-hydrocodiene makes me feel detached from my surroundings. If I take enough of both I get to feel like Po...
