Hey SPB, sorry I did send my best wishes earlier, was riding back from Wellington yesterday. Best of luck and don't give the nursing staff too much jib:shit: Heres hoping for the most successfull and speedy of recovery with nil further complications. Be good to see ya back on the flying banana:corn:

[kro]

Duct tape ya dick to the inside of ya leg, so you dont get a big woody in the recovery room. Apparently it's quite common.

Doctor - Good god, did someone pitch a marquee in here?
Nurse - giggle, No Doctor, thats just SPB's bed sheet.

Hope all goes well.

[Hitcher]

[Scorpygirl]

Glad to hear SPB's back operation went OK. Here's to a speedy recovery for him. :grouphug:

[Kornholio]

Yeah get well soon dude...instead of a card ill send ya some bling :D

[crashe]

UPDATE: at 7.40pm this evening, I received a txt from the man himself.

"All is good, leave Friday morning"

So it looks like Sixpackback is gonna be let out of hospital on Friday morning and allowed to go home to recover there.

Lets hope all keeps going well for him.

[scumdog]

Get well soon ya broken-arse!
I know how painful a bad back can be - too much lifting of Mk2 Zephyr cylinder heads, deer carcases etc have left mine somewhat 'tender' - glucosamine has helped wonder, give it a go if the docs say it's o.k.

[bugjuice]

he also text me to say that it went better than expected, so hopefully he'll recover nice n quick for the summer

[Velox]

Good to hear it's all gone well SPB! :niceone: Hope there's heaps of people around who can bring you mags and sort out a comp to keep you occupied.

How long do they reckon till you're back on the road?

[mstriumph]

:spudwave: good for you, Fella!! was keeping me fingers crossed - glad to hear it all went well :spudflip:

[texmo]

Babby Jesus crys for you Andrew.

Good to hear; trust you get the best op/post-op care poss!

[crashe]

Update: I sent a txt to SPB this morning and he replied:


"Slept well. Sore and bruised but feeling good thanx."


It sounds like the lad is obeying the doctors and nurses orders..
Which is great to hear.

[ManDownUnder]

Naaah- you just got a grubby mind!

He'd be the only one... :whistle:

[Lou Girardin]

Great news he'll be well enough for the Parachute festival.

[*sic]

[Scorpygirl]

Really pleased to hear that all is going to plan and that he is recovery well. Alll the best to you SPB at this special time of the year. Take care please. :niceone:

"Going well, home tomorrow"


It is great that he will be home for christmas and can recover at home.
Tis the best place to be when recovering from a operation.

[Colapop]

Sheeiit!! That boy'll be back on a bike before the new year comes! I can see it now SPB's specially added large size sissy bar with him taped to it!
Good all is well though.

[Skyryder]

Got in to this thread a bit late to wish you well before the op. so wish you well after it. Had back trouble as a youngster spent nearly three years in hospital. Went in as a four year old had my seventh birthday a few weeks after I came out.

Mind you I had it easy.................no more shagging for you ol' son well not for some time.:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Your 'buddy'


Skyryder

[kels]

Sorry another late one here!
Wishing you a speedy recovery and all the best :)

[SixPackBack]

Woohoo just got home, sporting a two inch scar on my neck but feel pretty bloody good. Doctor said 6 weeks till I'm back on the bike and normal again.
The last ten months have been punctuated by extended periods of sometimes unimaginable pain with many totally normal days in between, pain killing drugs and deteriorating mental health have taken a toll.
Your concern and messages are gratefully received, if you have been on the receiving end of my foul temper over the last couple of months in particular I apologise.
A special 'sorry' to Joni, I think you coped the worst of it.
Have a rest over xmas and will see you lot on a ride in the not to distant future

[The_Dover]

Good on ya, ya old cunt ;)

I'll pop up for a beer sometime over the hols, save me some morphine.

[scumdog]

Good to hear you're alive and kickin' - hope all mends well.:niceone:

[DMNTD]

Onya mate! Know exactly where ya coming from re the "spinal twist". LOL...can help with grumpyisms eh?
Congrad's and look forward to having a ride in the near future:woohoo:

[ManDownUnder]

Welcome home man...

[crashe]

Hey SixPackBack, good to see that you also survived the long ride home...
Going over all them bumps in the road....
Aint it amazing that really the only time you get to know where every god damn hole and bump in the road is... when you are all stitched up and just after a operation.

Rest up mate..... enjoy your xmas day with your family.
I will pop up after xmas to see you...
Take care mate.... those 6 weeks will soon be over...
and the bike is sitting there waiting for you...
:grouphug: :grouphug:

[Colapop]

Good stuff SPB - back in the saddle before you know it!

[Kornholio]

Nice one Stu (thumbs up emoticon)... so did you need titanium or did they have to rip some bits out?
