THEM BONES, THEM BONES...

10.Obtain a x-ray of my spine...COMPLETED

Most of you may know I have severe kypho scoliosis and had surgeries from 1981-88. You may be surprised to learn that there is no scoliosis consultant for adults in the whole of Scotland. Last week I attended a general orthapedic consultant to get my spine checked out after a few aches and pains. I am pleased to report all is well and x-rays show no dramatic changes have taken place with my spinal fusions or Harrington rod.

is relatively well. If you stop drinking that Japanese whiskey and return to Scotch, then all your aches and pains will disappear!!!
Sadly, I'm under doctor, hospital and specialist attention at present also. About 10 weeks ago I had unexpected pain and vomiting. Tests and ultrasound have revealed that my gallbladder is being naughty, and upsetting my liver etc.
Result = bloody thing has to be removed. Keyhole surgery.
But, during ultrasound scan they found something "strange"at base area of bladder, so it's off to have a CT scan to check that out, before the surgery.
I said, Äs long as it is under general anaesthetic, and I can be OK for walking in Britain in April next year, go for it!".
Wishing you all the freedom you can get from aches and pains, Louise.
