I made a point to get her name and give brownie points where due to the surgeon.... OF course for about 2 days was groggier than H****!!!!! [Hesperus orthe like?] But, once stuff cleared from system [drink more than HEAPS of water!] Pretty good to go!?
I do believe the Best words were: DEMEYELINATING, only at the ending nerves, rather than the Brain nerves.. Once they got THAT connection, rest was easy? for them....
'and the wheels, they go round and round, on the carousel of life.... We go we rotate, we will SUCCEED. Got not choice!
For the Meantime: Exercise like crazy....You are gonna need those Other muscles to help compensate while the surged ones heal. SOOO WORK IT OUT!
Super good thoughts for now later and then, after! - j

Thanks Dahlek, they know all about the PN, the amount of questions and physical checking was unbelievable, it was 4 solid hours of differant types of doctors, one after another checking me out and each one had at least 4 pages each of just questions regarding my health, i was totally warn out by the end of the afternoon.
I also seen a physio that afternoon that has givem me exercises to do prior to the op, and i believe they get you up and walking the very next day.
I am getting a spine block because of previous problems with general anas',
so i will be wide awake right through the op, which doesn't bother me in the least because i have seen a THR performed on the net.
Once again thanks,
Brian
