Had an awful morning - by 10.15am Finlay had stubbed his toe, slipped and banged his head in the shower, and badly grazed his back. Then to make matters worse I fell down the stairs with him. I've never done this before and it was awful. Luckily I held on to him the whole time but during the fall I managed to twist my foot and back. The pain got progressively worse and by the time Jonny got home from work I was in tears.
So - up to A&E we went. X-ray came back fine so the nurse said I needed plenty of rest and to keep it rested. Ha! With a toddler!

Pain In The Neck - IMRAN™
Thank you so much for the loving inquiries and comments about what made me go in for surgery. Here it is, in black and white. Well, some red too. LOL
It was a pain in the neck, literally. No, not the surgery, but the problem. It started with my being T-boned (no pun intended) as a passenger on a motorcycle by another motorcycle at 18. Later several such traumas over the next three decades made things worse.
I have been living with ever-worsening pains from the herniated discs and damaged vertebrae, which were causing pressure on different nerves. Every five years the pains moved further & farther along, from the neck to the shoulder to the scapula to the triceps, and so on. Similar radiation of pain signals went to the back and legs.
A picture is worth a 1000 words, an X-Ray 5000. Unless you get squeamish looking at X-rays.
#1 shows where my cervical spinal (neck) vertebrae C5/C6 were squished together, destroying the disc, and getting permanently fused naturally (not in a good way). That space was getting tighter on the nerves coming through there.
#2 shows C6/C7 also squishing together, eventually likely to end up the same as the ones above. But wait, there’s more. If you get three vertebrae squished together we will throw in an additional complication for free. LOL
#3 shows calcification turning into bone outgrowth behind all three vertebrae, now also pushing Into the spinal cord itself. That started causing narrowing of the spinal cord, which meant adverse impact on everything in the body that is signaled through the spinal cord.
That is the surgery I was avoiding since I was in my 40s, to avoid the risk of making things worse for the rest of my life. But I also did not want to wait to be in my 70s, suffering for decades, and then having a harder time healing. So, It was time for "Knives Out!"

side view really shows the break well. Today the doc said cast for 2 to 3 months and recovery (no competitive sports) for atleast double the cast time.

we got this free bottle of helium (actually a helium-air mixture they call "balloon-gas", 50 bar/12 liters) from dads workplace for my stepbrothers first birthday, the first thing we tried was filling a bin bag and let it take off. it disappeared into a cloud about 1-2 minutes afterwards ;-) then i got the idea, to send out balloons (really bin bags) with xray pictures attached to them and a little note with my email adress, as people might be interested why someone would do such a crazy thing. so far i havent got any answers.
