We finally got news back from the hospital!
Good News
No Operation needed!!
Bad News
Mark needs to be fitted with a back brace
for three months & no work!!!!
We have decided to stay put here in Carnarvon
for a while longer, seeing as there are limited funds coming in!
It is the best option till he recoups a bit!!!
We will then slowly
make our way back home.
Now i suggest he get the rods out and get himself out fishing,
cause i feel a month or so bed bound is definetly
going to drive him batty!!!!
No i will rephrase that...........
Drive me Batty!!!!!!!!!!!!
Till next time
Cheers!
Oh No that is terrible news.
ReplyDeleteI have a bad back in the L3L$ & L5 region and the best cure is rest and some gentle exercise.
MY wife broke her Coxxyc some years ago and the best cure was rest and some gentle exercise.
The other thing we both learned was to lose weight as any additional tummy only puts stress on the back muscles and spine.
Walking, cycling and swimming all recommended.
Also, for pain relief we bought a TENS machine by Omron from the chemist and pain killer use is virtually nil.
Cheers
Hi, thank you for your tips!!
ReplyDeleteBloody backs are a pain in the bum, as you both know!
He is doing lots of rest & is awaiting a brace to be sent up from Perth!
The TENS machine sounds like it is worth a try!
I will enquire at the chemist in town!
Cheers for now Mark & Sharon
