Thanks Wingy,
That made my day! I like your way of thinking. :-) My beautiful Lady has already thought of using me as an excuse not to go certain places after the implant. Gotta watch these female types, they are devious at the best of times.

My supervisor at work has been very helpful, which I appreciate, I just finished filling out some forms to send to him applying for leave to cover most of the 12 weeks. Between using Personal Leave, Annual Leave and Long Service Leave, I have it all covered and will even have a little in reserve. That in itself is a relief and will help keep the financials partly under control.

Yes Pam, the plan is to follow directions as much as humanly possible. Over the trial week, Rae even had our grand daughter rousing at me if I went to move the wrong way. I had no choice but to behave. Asked my Pain Specialist about riding my bike during the latter parts of the 12 week period, and he said fine as long as I don't lift it, crash or turn my head. So I guess that's out too. Given that it weighs over 330kg I suppose it might be pushing my luck just a little bit.

Thanks Eva for your positive thoughts, no doubt I'll be needing them after the implant till I get sorted out. Hope your day is going well.

Catch everyone later, I have a run of late shifts starting tomorrow so might not be on line much. Keep well, and stay positive.

Phil
