A phone call from the specialist was disappointing. I have a further slip of the disc, and a big one at that. He is very unhappy, as he had hoped that it would all go away, but it has not. So there is to be another operation to remove the bit of disc that has popped out and is prodding the nerve, and he may also have to do a fusion, which means doing something to fuse 2 vertebrae together. I must find out a bit more about fusion operations. The next step is an ex-ray of my back this afternoon to see a bit more about whether a fusion is needed.
In the meantime I am still cultivating the allotment, which the specialist probably would not approve of, and swimming about four times a week. And the village social season has started, and have to draft a quiz for the village hall in February. Keeps me out of mischief.
