Muster Event Organisation Area

mate don't screw your back up any further (you only get one of them). Sort it out and we can sort the rest out later on (its far less important)

I did my back in Nov last year, at home moving couch in a slightly awkward back movement that just pinched something shocking. Couldn't stand, sit, walk after it happened. Weekly physio, nothing broken tho.... it only just feels strong again now.

Get better soon mate

 

[siringo]

That's bad news Ian, yep, look after yourself and get fixed up so you can go to the next 10 Musters and 5 Cape trips.

Best of luck for the future mate.

 

[Old.Tony]

Mate that is shitful news. You take care of the back first, because you won't get to do anything else without it. We'll catch up soon.

 

[nathand22]

Sorry to hear that mate that really must be given you the shits, I hope you can get it sorted.

As the others said dont worry about the muster or the Gymkhana, we will get it sorted and keep you in the loop.

Take care mate,
best regards,
Nath.

surgery is booked for 19th august
8 weeks b4 muster
fcuk ime scared
wish me luck
cheers

 

[nathand22]

That must be a bit of a releif to know that something is booked in and you now know where you are heading instead of just waiting, now you can try and concentrate on recovery and make plans for that time.
8 weeks is still going to be a bit soon for you to make the muster, wouldn't it? would you be looking at more like 12-16 weeks for things to be healed well enough for any sort of normal activity??

Good luck with it mate, hope it all goes well.

 

[ljacko78]

There's some doctors in Essendon that have some good drugs to help ur body get strong. Otherwise, hopes and prayers matey all goes well

[siringo]

thanks tony
stay should be 3 to 5 days

Unless the nurses were worth the effort, I'd have to be doped up if I was stuck in bed that long, I'd be bouncing off the walls.

Good luck buddy.

Lol
My Mrs (nurse) has made it quite clear that she will be the only one giving me a sponge bath
I will apparently be up walking the day after surgery, very important to move asap
Then once I have a bowel movement and pain is under control Ile be sent home
I have never been under and never spent a night in hospitol that's why ime quite nervous
Oops there's another fear fart sneaking out
I keep tellin myself Ile be ok the surgeon operates on brains for a living so he should be able to do my op with his eyes closed
And gettin a tube stuffed in my willy is not on my bucket list,ffs can't I just wear a nappy?

 

[siringo]

Yeh, I know. I've only been under once, when I was 14 or so, it was the weekend the VFL grand final had to be replayed due to a draw, that was Staurday, then on Sunday Bathurst, so it was a good weekend to be stuck in bed I guess.

That's incredible the turn around time, I'm no expert but I guess it's key hole surgery which is just fantastic stuff, lot less cutting and much faster healing.

All I can remember is when they put the aneasthetic in. They go, count backwards from 10. I got to 8.

Should get 'em to check the prostate while you're out, plus the plugs and points.

Good luck, I'm sure you won't need it.

 

[sparra04]

wish it was keyhole surgery
1 insicion lower spine approx 10cm
1 in hip area approx 15 cm(bone harvest)
there goes another fear fart
enuff about me
hows the muster planning coming along?

 

[LLadnar]

Hi guy's, well I just read the whole thread to catch up on what's happening.
I jotted down some notes as I was reading for stuff so I wouldn't forget it all by the time I finished lol..

1. Is the leaving muster day, Sunday or Monday, thought we didn't have to be of site till Monday morning? leaving sunday for us to do stuff. the way I was thinking was anyone who lives close wont have to leave early sunday and most people that live a long distance will be off Monday anyway to travel.

2. The conduit, are we set for that? My mate has his own plumping business and I could raid his left over PVC pipe pile in his back yard, I know his missus would mind it going missing haha..

3. I third the white shoe cleaner, all you need is a scraper to get it off.

4. ljacko, the Ados muster stickers I have mine still could send you a photo if needed.

5. Tony, the direction signs you where goin to give to sparra, I can take them if you need.

To Sparra, really sorry on the bad new mate, make sure you look after yourself, there's plenty of trips left in yah yet.
