Thanks Lara for checking. No thank goodness we are well away from Lorne. Only woke up this morning to the terrible news.

Hi Phil,

Time has flown. I'm wondering how your back is healing and if any of the leg pain has decreased? Also wondering if you're starting back to work this week or soon? Anyway, I'm really just hoping that you're doing so much better than you were.

take care

Hi Lara yes time has flown. I have constant pain in my left buttock and also constant pain in my shin. The surgeon said he is extremely disappointed that i have the buttock pain because he said he cleaned out so much rubbish around the nerve. He also said the shin pain is from a different disc so another MRI and two more nerve blocks to no avail. I'm seeing him Friday to see what's next. I'm back at work which is a worry because i was 2 weeks of qualifying for my income Protection. I'm battling here because i can't sit very long. I don't think the 225mg Lyrica is doing much either. I'm $7000 out of pocket for the last surgery so if he says i need further surgery i will have to try and find a surgeon that has a closer medicare gap.
So i still have pain from the first area and don't know what can be done and also the new disc identified.

Sorry for the long rant.
I hippie all is good in your life Lara.

Phil

How disappointing for you on so many levels. Ugh.
Please let us know how you get on with your appointment on Friday.
I'm sorry to hear this is all ongoing. Terrible.

[ Phil, all is well here and thanks very much for asking.
Hot in the morning. Hot in the midday sun and hot all night. LOL
Otherwise, just perfect. ]
