Glad you are 'back' with us Dan and pain has reduced mate. All downhill for you now hopefully, keep smiling bud. JD
1 bloke has actually offered mate lol Well I need new leathers as I'm taller and put on some weight so my first purchase is covered .
Cheers guys . You'd support means alot. Well 4 days after having a full spinal correction I stood up today , took 3 or 4 steps and sat in the chair for half hour . It was painful but laying back in bed now I'm not in as much pain so if things improve that much when they get me uo later thus evening I reckon I will be walking independently tomorrow . The nurses keep saying I'm old for a scoliosis patient but when I explain that when I was 16 and offered the correction I would have been in bed for 6 months they understand. Thanks again for your comments guys , ill keep a kinda progress diary going here
cracking hell Dan, thanks for taking the time to say hi and give us a update. only do it when you feel you can. as for a nut wash when I was in hospital I only had old women wanting to help me
Hey your back with us dan, sounds like your doing very well, bound to be bloody sore for a while but instead of every day getting worse you with make steady positive progress every day, keep us informed as to your recovery mate and perhaps we will see you at the nec next month?? Or is that optimistic? Ps. Don't mention the terrible pain my son reads the forum lol
Great to hear from you Dan. And by the sounds of it your making great progress mate. Wont be too long now and you'll be back on your feet again watching your wee man going round the bike track again.
Huge improvements guys . After a few days from hell in ICU I think I could take on any thing now . Having to face the fact that your in severe pain, its not going away so fidgeting is useless , just laying still and biting down took every ounce of my strength. So today is Sunday . Iv been on a general ward for a few days where I just got a constant ache that is so annoying but the meds are keeping me comfortable . Iv sat up on my own , iv walked the hole corridor on crutches . And best of all ..... Iv had my first dump since last Monday ha ha . Things are liking good for going home Tuesday or Wednesday . The Physio team are really impressed that I'm continuing getting up and sitting in the chair etc after they have gone . I told them I really wanna go home and they said that extra effort is what gets people home early . I'm so impressed with what my body has gone throu and how fast it is adapting to its new lay out Latest pic Poor signal so sorry for the size There is alot if bruising starting to come out around my hood and left side but that's the side that's had the most rib cage movement Amazing how last week I looked like this I'll up date when I can guys , I'm trying to Post on other threads but I only got my iPhone and signal is crap
Good going Dan, life will be much sweeter for you when this is done and dusted. What would we do without these guys in the medical profession eh? JD
