well, Sinders, how is John doing? did they get him up on his feet and walking yet?

[Biker Biker]

I popped in and saw John on saturday... he was laying on his back watching Top Gear on Dave.  In good spirits considering how much it must hurt.....makes me feel all wibbly at the knees.  I took him the riders digest and Motorcycle Monthly, he had a book but no other reading material (hint for the next visitor).  Hopefully by today they will allow him to eat or drink something a bit more substantial.

Hi Guys

Sorry -things have been hectic. Thanks for going to see him, BB, I know he was pleased to see you.

When I arrived just after Tan, John was chomping at the bit to eat or drink. Unfortunately where all the stomach and intestines etc are moved out of the way to get access to the spine, it all goes into shock, hence why they were allowing nothing to eat until there had been movement in that department !  

As everything was working ok by that time, John's surgeon came back and we cleared it for John to eat 'normal' foods. By Saturday night, I left him eating poached eggs, toast and a cheese platter ..... alright for some  !!!

Since then strangely he has gone from strength to strength !! lol. All lines/IV's have now been removed and he is up and about walking and has done the stairs with the physio. With this in mind, the surgeon says he should be able to come home tomorrow evening, I will collect him about 8pm. He has a 10/12" scar with 31 clips/staples !

The surgeon has already been pencilled in for 22nd or 29th Jan for the 2nd disc to be done !  

Please PM me anyone wishing to visit once he is out of hozzy as he will stay at mine most probably in Carshalton and I can give you the address.

Me and PP went to see him last night and he's doing ok, he said it only really hurts when he laughs, so what did we do, almost split his sides he did   '>   '>

All the best mate, looks like he'll get back on his feet only to have to go through it all over again in January poor chap, still he's a tuff old bugger   '>

Will see you again soon mate.  we will get in somehow  '> '>

[HellsBells]

Was good to see you both last night had a good laugh, ended up getting home at 02.30am AND now on crutches for a week!!!!!!

[WDZ]

Having the 31 staples out on Friday so that should make things a bit easier

Look forward to seeing you all out n about soon

Hey John, how did it go on Friday mate? you feeling any better.  '>

[WDZ]

Had all the staples out Friday ok, wasn't as bad as I thought it would be
Still pretty sore and back is painfull, all part of the recovery I guess.
Thing is, the surgeon could only replace the lower, less damaged disc this time, so won't feel much difference until the more damaged disc is replaced end of January.

Thanks for thoughts guys and looking forward to getting back on 2 wheels, whenever that will be '>

Good to see you today Burger, thanx for popping in and making me smile '>

[Grandma]

Good to hear you are on the mend, hope the January op makes a significant difference and you will be back on the bike just in time for the good weather and the End of Winter Ride. What an incentive

[WDZ]

Thanks Christine. Fingers crossed it will do the trick.
Looking forward to your end of winter ride already '>

Roll on 2009, plenty to look forward to '>
