Brian,
Best wishes for a speedy recovery from one horror collector to another [Wink]
I had a ruptured disc a few years ago, and I know your pain is much, much worse, but hang in there, and take it easy on the painkillers as best you can [Smile]

Hi Brian, I wish you a good recovery. Patience is needed to be hospitalized so many days. I know the situation.

Regards
Francisco

I'll never forget our experience last winter. My wife was hospitalized three weeks post surgery, did a month in-patient rehab and then another 8 weeks out-patient rehab on disability from work.

Those were bastardly days: some days the morphine just didn't cut it and there was nothing anybody could do. There was a long period of time when she was inarguably worse off than before the procedure (just as her surgeon predicted). For myself I was keeping a house, a job and a son going at the same time I visited at the hospital as often as I could. I literally started to wake up tired and sometimes I was a little afraid to drive my car because I knew I wasn't as alert as I'd like to be.

I learned about 80 ways to cook pasta so there would always be something on the table! I am ready to forget about 65 of them...

This is not whining, by the way, just prologue...

What kept all of us, and our friends and family going through all of this is the idea we were working towards better days to come. Those days are here: slow in coming, but still here.

I joked about coming to CineSea before, but that's a good example. My wife wanted me to go, but was afraid to spend a weekend alone, so we agreed we'd all come down. By the time the weekend came she decided she was OK at the house, but we all needed a break so she still came with us.

This weekend we took the camper out East and overnighted for the first time since her operation: another step back to normal.

You, Brian are at the start of this journey. I can tell you it will not be an easy one, but you need to have faith it will get better. Whatever support systems you have you will need now, they will get you through a lot more than you can alone.

Godspeed!

Hello Brian

I’m sorry to hear you’ve had to go through such a painful procedure, it looks as though things are heading in the right direction for your recovery though, so well done!

Hopefully see you again at the BFCC some day.

If you tell the hospital you miss your movies someone's bound to chirp:

"It's OK, we have cable here!"

For those who understand, no explanation is necessary,
for those who don't, no explanation is possible.

" Let's hope your doctor prescribes some films to watch. "

Let's hope that it's not the George C Scott film from the mid 70's "The Hospital," (a classic!).

[Eek!]

Thanks again for all the well wishes. I am now home hobbling around on a cane with a lot of intense pain that is only partly helped by the painkillers. I'm just hoping the nerve in my leg will heal now the disc is not crushing it. The key they said is BLT. I was hoping the sandwich but it's no Bending, Lifting, or Twisting. So I'm mainly just staying in bed. Lifting the Gs1200 is way out of the question - I think I'll start with the Eumigs eventually. Right now the TV will have to do. My message is: Don't take mobility for granted. You don't know what you got until you lose it as they say.

Well said Brian, I truly feel for you sir and cannot imagine what level of pain you are going through. A very good collector friend of mine had his wife recently suffering in similar pain levels apparently and my heart went out to her. Get well soon my friend and get Paul, Steve,Osi or Doug etc etc to personally collect your your GS, Then place it in pride place on your ward and simply amaze your bedside buddies with your wares, Ha ha!

Keep ur chin up matey and look forward to seeing you well again on here very soon!
