A load of rubbish really, just typing!

Hola Chica

Another new day, its almost lunch time here and I have just got out of bed! LOL.

I am not having my rod removed as we have been discussing, I would not put

myself through that unless my surgeon said yes it needs to come out and like I

said I don't think he would be too happy anyway because its been there for 15

years, its just that I can feel it so much more than I used to now, when sitting

in plastic chairs, laying on the floor, laying in bed, its always there sticking

out, but it hasn't broken it just aches at the top.

I am desperately trying to find solutions so that I don't need further surgery

in years to come but I don't think I will manage to avoid it, I have tried

pretty much everything else over the years, laughter always helps.....and I do

plenty of that LOL. Especially when I get up off the sofa and walk like an old

granny for a few steps before I can stand up straight, always takes the

mick then and if I don't laugh I would cry! Quite amazing how us Scolis over the

years don't dry up, cry so many tears I wonder where they can come from

sometimes especially when I get projectile ones LOL.

I use a kind of cream cant remember the name, its like a gel and I rub that on

my lower back and I find it helps, I am searching about the patches right now

and what are the best ones, he did suggest Morphine ones but I am not up for

that, if I can get patches that are not Morphine then I will quite happily try

them, I try not to take much medication because I like to have a beer at the

weekend and I find that is a good pain killer too, plus it means I can go and

sit in a pub and chin wag to my girlfriends without being in too much pain.

But I have had a good week as far as pain goes, I tried a mental test on myself

this week, as I was convinced that some of my pain was made worse by my own

brain so I through myself into I am OK, no pain just get down and get on with

that, so I did that and although it helped some I did realise I didn't make any

of it up LOL, so that was a good test for me at least.

All the best

Nutty
