As you all know I am rather anti back surgery, mainly because of it’s abysmal record (six out of ten back surgeries fail), and my personal acquaintance with several recipients of such procedures.
Not to say there is never a case for it but a surgical procedure that has it's own syndrome (failed back surgery syndrome-FBSS) does need to be considered extremely carefully. This article about one popular operation, spinal fusion, on spinehealth.com makes interesting reading.
I don’t think I need to labour the point. But if you or anyone you know is considering it you might do well to check this out.
Right, I'm off to make the Sunday roast. Carol returns from her Cyprus holiday today so it'll be nice for her to come home to. This post has taken ages because I have worn off the letters of many keys on my keyboard and I’m making lots of typos, and have to keep going back and correcting them. If you find any I’ve missed please bear with me. I do have a new keyboard on order.
