lol @ kwak - don't tell DC!!!  Am sure my invite is in the post......it is isnt it Matt????                                                                                                                                                                              

Best wishes for a successful op and a speedy recovery   Just take it easy and try not to rush things  x

haha yea ur invite was in the post... i made a mistake and it bounced back.  I will correct it and resend soon.  REALLY hope you get it in time.    Thanks for the well-wishes folks.   For those who want to know, it's not the full microdisectomy surgery that I'm having (yet, and hopefully never).  I'm having a new kind of laser treatment.  They're basically sticking hollow needles into my intevertebral disc and then putting lasers down the needles to burn it.  This turns some of the liquid/jelly in the disc into gas, creating a vacuum (and therefore negative pressure) which should in theory "suck" the hernia back in.   In therory!  It's a 50/50 chance of success where my hernia is (bad location).  One vertebae higher and it would have been 80% success rate.                                                                                                                                                                             

MMmm does that mean we should call him Henry now !!!!!

Enjoy the rest ;)

right now I'm slightly buzzing from it, but hillucinating more than anything.  Good thing is the pain has got much better, though I can feel it's gonna hurt in the morning.
Wish the hillucinations would stop though.  Feels like flies keep landing on my face and arms and ive gotta keep rubbing myself (oo err) lol
