Guest guest Posted March 13, 2006 Report Posted March 13, 2006 Hi . I didn;t want to take away from Mazz's good news, I had ct scans and lumbar spine x rays back in February, today was the first appontment I could get. The news was not good, but given what I've been going through the last 14 months, I have sort of expected it My hips have degenrated, which indicates a hip replacemnt of the Right Hip is more possible than not. Olus my spine has deberated by an amount of 80% they talk about the degeneration as a resulrt of my laminectomy operation.... the unudual thing is that I have not had suregry to my back...... like Shultz, I know nussing. Plus to make me more happy, back surgery is not just a possibility, but essential, so my Dr has referred me to the top professor in Newcastle, If I wasn;t going to the movvies tonight to see a comedy, I may well just howl Dr Hamidi really wants me to get to the low goal weight, for my height, which will be 63kg, I was this so it is not impossible, as this will help thiongs a lot more, even though 70kg has gone off. I am trying to be positive, they may have read the x rays wrong, this is being looked into Cheers Rob To Bobby B! Rob Thanks for the update! So what is the news with your hip and back scan, I am assuming it was a bone density.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2006 Report Posted March 13, 2006 Hi Rob That is a shit load of information to take on board, even worse given the situations you have had to deal with. I hope that the x-rays have been read wrong, but in the event that is not the case I wish you the best possible outcome if it comes down to surgery. Go and enjoy your movie tonight, I hope that things make better sense when they have had time to digest. Nx Quote
Guest guest Posted March 13, 2006 Report Posted March 13, 2006 Oh Rob, It just never ends for you. really hope that the visit to the specialist goes well and that you don't have to go through much more to get your life back on track. Take very good care, Cheers Cath Quote
Guest guest Posted March 14, 2006 Report Posted March 14, 2006 Ah Rob, The pure delights of growing older and the body taking the whack of it all. I am so sorry to hear your news - no words can give any comfort. I know this, I am on this path - my back's degeneration is equalivant to that of a 60 year old construction worker - and we all know that I had a most privilege upbringing and have only done some physicalYou work in the last 6 years!! Knees so rocky it is a miracle they are carrying me!! Orthopod told me it was all about aging!! Keep us informed of your progress! Hugs, Ghyll Quote
