Hi Dai
Well you have had some good thinking out loud time my Friend as for my treatment I think it was a great shock and i told him "You dont want me to decide what treatment I want are you?" when he gave me lots of leaflets/books :-/ where i was told that he and his team would decide the best road for me so I followed his lead and have to say its worked for me (now looking for some wood to touch?)
I aint that thick but am sure i wouldn't know what would be the best option for me? did I have more than way i could have gone?? I dont know all I can remember was saying that I wanted to hit it hard and fast before it gets a good hold of me:-D
Keep on thinking out loud dai as it makes me think more of "Should I"

Hi David
Well cough's and cold's :-/ I have to admite from having my SCT I have never coughed nor had as many poorly chest's that I can remember :-S and I used to smoke but am sure the gunge that built up in my lungs must have gone by now Lol 😉
But if all I suffer is the bloomin cough and the odd bad chest then am sure I will cope with that and it makes it easier for my young bride to find me as we walk around a market or shop as she can hear the "Cough Cough" Lol
Keep clear and keep good David 😀

Hi Dai
Well your last post made me chuckle Lol, am not sure how you could have a "Elegant Sling" you must post a photo :-).
But I am very pleased you are well on the way to being sorted.
I am sure that's what I would miss the driving so your not bad as you can take the sling off to drive, just dont alter the rear veiw mirror.
Its great to hear your doing great again as you have been through the mill of late, keep on getting stronger
And do you knmow dai your secret aint a secret from me I also was loving it 🙂
From one "Onwards and Upwards" Guy to another 🙂
Hi Jill

All the best to you and give your Mum a cuddle from me xxxx
Love Tom "Onwards and Upwards" xxx
Aww Dai
You have been Janet's "brave little soldier", and I remember saying it could be "An age Thing" sorry M8:-/ and I know its a strange thing to say but at least you now know its a fracture and I bet your "well being " is better as you now know what you have to fight and you just might get less pain.
Good Luck with the "Coller and cuff" am sure thats gonna be hell with the sweats
Tom "Onwards and Upwards" and not gonna put it down to age again 😀 x
Hi Helen
I had my SCT in December 09 but I went on sick in May 09:-( I was due to have one but they cancled it after they found out mine was "Reminal" (sorry folks for those word's :-S )
I wanted to go back to work its what kept me going on BAD Days, but all My Consultants and lead Nurses said I shouldn't go back to my work again as its too heavy? but me being me i went back and they gave me a lesser job (same pay mind you) so all I do is sit in a brick building and come out to book drivers in when they come to collect/deliver.
Do I feel that I made the correct Choice going back ??? No I dont think I did, I get way too tired and have had more coughs and bad chests than you can shake a stick at But am here now and Al wait for summer to arrive and see how I feel then 🙂
Good Luck with yours Helen 🙂
Love Tom "Onwards and Upwards" xxx
