A long time in coming to fruition. Let's all hope that this is the operation that gives you a better quality of life, mate.

All the best John, hope you get the result you've been looking for!!

[threedogs]

Thanks guys just packing up and looked at the paper work ,
My bad I'm being admitted on Tuesday and having Op on Wednesday.
This is a big thing for me and it all rests on the out come,
to those that PM me thanks heaps it does mean a lot.
Been growing a beard waiting for this day so I can shave the bugger off lol
Yeah this is huge in my eyes and those that surround me.
But hopefully all will go to plan and I'll be up on the Murray
with my new Forum mates fishing for the mighty Cod [Hank]lol
I tear up thinking about this thats how important it is.
So watch out nurses here I come
as Danny Glover says "getting too old for this shite"lol

[Irish]

Best of luck john

[Winnie]

[NissanGQ4.2]

Good luck John, hope it all works out

[threedogs]

Best wishes from me too mate. How long before you can assess the results?
Thanks mate, I've always got straight back into things as that's the way I've always been.
This time I'm giving it a few weeks to fully repair before lifting or doing anything stupid.
Cost of this implant is $25,000 so its not just a TENS machine, excited and nervous at the same time but
Prof Teddy knows his stuff,. go two big sons to take some load off me for a while.
Will give me time to design some more gear that may be usefull

[lucus30]

Best of luck. Hope you'll be back at it in no time

[93patrol]

[NP99]

Safe surgery mate.....

There's another guy on this forum that goes to hospital a lot, mostly just to have baths by the brutish nurses :)

Look forward to the war stories when you're discharged :)

[Drewboyaus]

All the best mate. It would be fantastic for your health to be able to lose the meds and have your back fixed.

Sent from my iPhone using Forum Runner

[jack]

All the best John,
Fingers crossed that this is the one that does the job, good luck from our family.

[Woof]

[oncedisturbed]

Good luck TD and remember to divert your knives in the post to me muah

[Family4x4]

Best of luck and a speedy recovery.

[AB]

Good luck on the operation John, all the best mate!

[MudRunnerTD]

Now I'm not sure if I should be hopeful or scared!!

We only know you medicated John!! What is going to happen when your surgery is a success and you drop you Meds??? Your not gunna become some other bloke are you??

I'll be watching you ;)


Good luck mate.

[MEGOMONSTER]

Now I'm not sure if I should be hopeful or scared!! We only know you medicated John!!

I'm sure he still has ample supplies, just incase he wants to step back in time and live the high life. Lol

[HuskyInAuz]

Didn't know about the history of the back. All the best for a successful procedure and out come.

On the road in Moura.

[TPC]

Best of luck John, I hope to get the opportunity to come fishing with you and a few others some day soon.

[jay see]

I'v only had an opportunity to meet Mr TD once, but I must admit that he came across as a easy going bloke. I hope that I can enjoy his company out on the tracks in the near future. All the best mate.

[Gecko17]

Wishing you all the best John for the op and for the recovery! If you need me and OD to babysit your knives while your out for the count, just let me know mate....

[threedogs]

Hope it goes to plan I'd be devastated if it didn't.
they have had 16 previous goes and failed,
Only difference is the surgeon, so a tip for anyone having major surgery
do your home work, I'm trapped in the Workcare circus and have to take what's given to me
but Prof Teddy knows his stuff

[krbrooking]

Best of luck TD, hope it all goes well.

[rusty_nail]

even though i stir you up from time to time TD, best of luck with the operation buddy, i hope the outcome puts you in a much better place once the dust is all settled.

[Winnie]

Sorry John as I haven't been keeping up with what's happening, are they trying something new here or is it the same thing by a different person?

[Maxhead]

Good luck with the op John, hope the surgeon has a steady hand and does not slip with the scalpel ;)

Good luck mate! You know what they say... 17th time's a charm! :bigthumbup:

[threedogs]

Having another spinal cord stimulator implanted.
Technology has moved forward , so hopefully this one
will work, They wont be doing a vertical Operation
as after 16 Op my back splits open ,they say its like trying to
stitch 6 chops together. Better bloody work. too much fishing and ppl to meet.
Went to the docs this morning and fell down so timing is right, bloody embarrassing though.
Then its ok when it settles down.

[NP99]

The magic staple gun.... :)

[mudski]

All the best John. Hopefully this op makes a difference and we can finally hit some tracks together.

[threedogs]

Thanks mick no pain at all now, plus I stand a lot straighter. Now to build up some muscles to strengthen every thing up. Happy that it worked big time as it really was my last hoorah. but hey I'm back and cant wait to hit the Murray, thanks again cheers John

Go West, young man. Even though our max varies from 16-20, I've still got a budgie tan. PML.

[oncedisturbed]

Go West, young man. Even though our max varies from 16-20, I've still got a budgie tan. PML.

Dont wanna know about your budgie smugglers

[Bob]

John has advised that the Staples come out Monday Week and then lots of Gym Work to build up strength in Back Muscles.
In no Pain now.
Now just one more hurdle and that is get off the Meds and John has advised that he has gone cold Turkey so that will be another challenge.
The Meds that John was on were quite strong and addictive.(That explaines some of his incoherent Posts) LOL

[MudRunnerTD]

John, glad to hear things are going well, good luck with the cold turkey.

Now get on here and post up ya goose. We obviously care bud.

[threedogs]

Yeeeah I'm back, lol
no pain at all ,only a bit of bruising pain from the OP.
As I told a couple of you I now stand straighter, well straighter than before
cant wipe the smile off this guys face that's for sure. Did the cold turkey bit
and have had a couple of restless sleeps but no need for the heavy stuff anymore.
just a few Panadine forte till I run out, Staples out Monday week so easy as till then.
Now I have a generator implanted in my right butt that sends signals to the electrodes
on my left side where the pain was, as someone suggested ROBO TD lol.
this is all great but IMO will only last till the next Nueroma grows, which I hope it doesn't.
Hospital food is shite nurses were great and two thumbs up to the surgeon and theatre staff.
One funny thing did happen pre Op when checking my name tags, seems I had a different name on my ankle.
Surgeon reckons I could of had a new set of breasts if not detected, lo
thanks for your thoughts it really was my last horray. So thanks to all
Now my ignition barrel is playing up damit oh well
N

[Alitis007]

Great to hear that your op was a success john !!!

[threedogs]

Thanks George , now to build some muscles up as a lot have wasted from no use
but small steps eh?

[MEGOMONSTER]

Thanks George , now to build some muscles up as a lot have wasted from no use but small steps eh?

Threedogs, you'll get like this in no time.

[threedogs]

so off the pills and onto the needles eh no thanks.
Proving a bit harder than I thought but I have been on the heavy meds for a long time.
I'm determined to be pill free, well that's the goal atm.
Being inactive presents a whole lot of different problems.
From a Stawell gift runner to a couch potato is not my idea of fun, but that was a long time ago.
always been a hypo type of guy , just need to find my MO JO again

[Bloodyaussie]

That is farting excellent mate..... now you are known as robobutt !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[NP99]

I went cold turkey from morphine after 12 months on it. It's a rough trip but you will feel even better in the near future. Good outcome mate....

[mudnut]

Excellent news, TD.

[Stropp]

great news td, very glad to hear the news mate.
