Operation yesterday. Bit of problem, they couldn't do the spinal block. Tried a few times but my spinal wasn't playing ball. So I had a general anasthetic. All went well and I am zooming around with my zimmer frame. Pain control excellent. I did it!!!!!!!

So happy for you!!!! 😍😍

nh_user_907025 · February 25, 2016, 8:35pm

Knowing the trouble they had finding the right spot in my spine, I'm surprised more people do not get a GA.

So glad you're now a pain free, and recovering hippie.

nh_user_921622 · February 25, 2016, 9:20pm

Yayyyy, onwards & upwards x

nh_user_688247 · February 26, 2016, 7:25am

dear lynn,

Congratulations, you did it !!! How did you sleep ? How is the pain? Not to alarm you but sometimes day 2 post-op can throw you back a bit in the pain department - so, ask for it okay?

Amazing feeling isn't it ?

I prefer GA and am lucky that I don't experience any nasty side effects -

Take it easy darling, all is well

big warm hug

renee
