Hello @Patches59 hoping the postop pain is diminishing. Are you noticing yet whether the nerve block has worked? I certainly hope so!!

I have someone coming first thing tomorrow to fix the fence. He'll take down the plum tree too but he wouldn't attempt the nandina. 

I'm still trying to push through the legal and financial stuff. There were developments yesterday and today but resolution is still weeks away. Lots more work to do. 

My colonoscopy was supposed to be today. Don't know if/when I'll have it now.

[Patches59]

Almost no pain at all last couple of days.

sorry to hear about colonoscopy @Dimity 

[Dimity]

That's great @Patches59 .Hope you're also feeling good in yourself and can enjoy the relief. It sounds promising for the follow-up treatments.

I'm hoping for a better day today. It looks like good weather and I see my counsellor this afternoon.

@tyme    Arrived at hospital 8:30am, during following 2 hrs ended up sitting in 3 different waiting rooms.  10:30am led to hospital gurney, prep room 11am and into theatre approx 11:45am.  This at private hospital.   Hoping things are not this bad when I have Radiofrequency ablation, pain management Dr estimating will be in October.

@rav3n procedure was nowhere near I was dreading and purpose it was for was a success.  Downside now is short term pain relief used in the procedure has fully worn off …. back is far from happy

That sounds pretty average @Patches59 ,

Hope you are okay after your procedure. The community is here if you need any company! Only 3065 people online across Australia at the moment 🙂

@Patches59 ahh sucks that the pain relief has worn off! at least now you roughly know what to expect for the follow up treatments. hoping that your next procedure turns out well!

keep resting up! hope the legos provide a fun distraction 😊

Hello @Patches59 hope you're going OK.

[Patches59]

Given time I hope to be @Dimity Still lots of things on my life trying to deal with

[Dimity]

I remember some of the things you've had on your plate @Patches59 . Hopefully you can prioritise and work through stuff.

I was pleased to get the fence done. There's still a lot to work through with banks and the solicitor. And I'm working through medical stuff too. Just booked a couple of scans for next week. My family problems are in the too hard basket.

Tiger is yelling - I've offered him dinner but he's wanting attention.  Hope your two are keeping you company.

I hope your pain specialist is helping with strategies to get you through until the next stage of treatment. 

Any plans for your roadtrip to the coast?
