Well, on 20 Feb I went under the knife at Middlemore for a L3, L4, L5 decongestion. Was discharged 25 Feb and confined to bed. The result will lead to a pain free future life, they say. The leg pains and some back pain leading up to the op were quite bad, and even with a walker, the use of bench tops, table tops and the like caused annoyance for SHMBO. Anyhow, It is over but the pain in the buttocks and hamstrings remain and makes getting out of bed and standing up a real difficulty. Also, guys, Young Willy has become so small he is quite hard to find and like the young, just when you NEED him so urinating into a Pee Bottle is fraught with anxiety. So, I now have 4 -6 weeks recuperation - such fun.
