Well, my GP has signed me off till the end of February. No suprise there, it’s the normal amount of time off one should have after this op. By the way, here’s a pic 10 days after the op: img.photobucket.com/albums/v193/c4gayboy/MYBACK2.jpg In the meantime I’ve been doing my exercises as shown by the hospital and I need to ring tomorrow to book my physio appt. I’ve booked to have my stitches out with the nurse at my GP’s on Weds, I’ll share another pic then Spoke to my Sgt today. She’s gonna pop round to see me at the weekend, how joyful. She seems more concerned than I am about my prognosis. Maybe it’s all the painkillers I’m on? My GP has given me 2 weeks more Diazepam and won’t give any more after that, this is cool, I don’t wanna get addicted. Although I can take the paracetamol and tramadol 4 times a day, I’ve decided that unless I get to be in too much pain, I’m only gonna take them 3 times a day with the other tablets. So, I think I need a hobby...
