• structural repairs

    From Clare Snyder@21:1/5 to All on Wed Oct 30 22:26:15 2024
    In the morning I go in for long awaited back surgery. Been an issue
    for about 20 years but I finally decided to have something done about
    it. First saw the specialist/surgeon in early May and he offered me a
    June slot - but I was scheduled for a month of Safari with my Daughter
    in Zambia over June/July - August was no good since I was booked for
    Alaska in September - so he booked me for October 23 - then I came
    down with Covid on my return from Alaska so my Oct 14 pre-op got
    cancelled and I was rebooked for Nov 28. Last week I got the word I
    was rebooked for Oct 31 - so that's tomorrow. O'll be out of
    commission for at least 6 weeks but hopefully when it's all over the
    problems will be fixed. L5-S1 fusion.

    Metalwork content? I'll likely come home with some fancy titanium
    pieces!!

    I am back home recovering.Pain level is up and down but manageable
    with extra strength Tylenol. I've been walking around the house, going
    up and downstairs, and out for a 17 minute walk in our balmy 20
    degreeC November weather. 6 weeks Of BLT restrictions - no Bend. Lift,
    or Twist
    Already seeing improvement - numbness in leg and buttock pain is GONE.
    I've been doing some light sit-down repairs - fixed my
    eyeglasses,which required fixing my lighted magnifier - working on
    repairing the switch on a friend's hair dryer as I sit here at the
    computer. I've done some phone consulting - got the Lambo Espada
    running on it's own - a couple switches to check out which the owner
    will drop off for me one of these days. I managed to get most od the
    wiring sorted and the dash mostly re-assembled before I went under the
    knife.

    I think it;s going to be a long 6 weeks - and the six after that as
    well ------

    Glad to hear it. I always hope for this sort of thing to result in
    "better" than it was. Sounds like it is.
