Topic: Wish me well folks!

[lordmoonpie]

12 hours to go and I'm in for my spinal decompression operation. I'm having a "Graf cage" and struts screwed into my lumbar spine to solve the disc degradation there so will not be in the garage for many weeks I guess but hopefully only a couple of weeks away from the forum.

Am I worried....you bet I am! 

Don't forget about me or nuthin'!

Good luck, Sir Lunar Fruit-filled-pastry!

I thought a moonpie was creme filled?
So lordy, just before you go under, are you going to ask if the screws require them goofy whitworth bits?

Good luck poke your head in when you can.

Thanks guys - the metalwork is apparently German made by Braun...all very efficient metric stuff so if it comes loose I'll have the right bits to tighten it up in my toolbox

We'll keep a good thought for you in Boston.

Yipes!!  You have my well-wishes.  I hope to avoid having something similar done regarding my herniated disk.  So, keep us posted on your progress.

I once read a thread that mentioned owners and their pets began to look alike after awhile.
But, isn't absorbing metal into your body taking the motorcycle fetish a bit too far?
Yeah, becoming one with the machine helps in many ways, but taking on parts personally, seems another matter, entirely?

Here in the states, Brawn is known to make shavers and coffee makers.  Will any of these accessories be included?  You might become way more popular after the installation!  And, not just because you feel more "perky".

Can we call you the Six Million Dollar Shaver after the surgery?

      Hey Simon, You'll be in MY Prayers Man. You be sure you get healed up proper now!

      BTW, back in the day, Moonpies were commonly had with RC Cola (some folks pronounced it like "R-Ah C Cola"

My neighbor had this done (or something very similar).  He would show off his x-rays kind of like a badge of honor.

You'll do fine. 

[Duke McDukiedook]

Good luck Moonie.

[bucky katt]

good luck! do exactly what the docs tell you to do, no trying to be a hero and not taking pain meds, dont do too much and give your body time to heal.

[azuredesign]

Good luck Simon! It'll be good to see your posts following a bit of recuperation.

There was quite a good thread going a few weeks back about this problem, I hope all goes well for you Simon and you get well soon as I need some decals making.

Hey good luck your lordship, you'll be fine mate, even if you end up just a brain attached to a spine like Peter Weller in Robocop (which would be cool) you'll still be fine, but look, just in case something terrible happens and the doctors fcuk up and you die an agonising death, screaming until your voice box explodes like that soccer player who's testicle fell into his hip joint when the teams doctor tried to reset his dislocated hip, do you think you could leave me your beautiful CR replica?

I mean, I've supported you right through your build, so it'd be a tragedy if it was to go to someone who just wouldn't love it as much as I would mate, so, not that anything WILL happen to you, (probably) but just to be on the safe side, if you could just put a "post it" note on it clearly marked with "Terry in Australia" somewhere obvious, you know, just in case the anaesthetist is having a bad day and gives you too much gas and turns your brain into pate' or the surgeon, straight out of med school, accidentally screws one of those beautiful German stainless steel screws through your lung and you drown in your own blood, or you pick up a case of Golden Staph which infects your whole body turning you into one large black weeping sore, then that'd be really good?

Thanks Simon, and good luck mate, not that you'll need it!      

[Sam Green Racing]

You do have a way with words Tell

Luck Simon, only question you should ask is are they going to use Loc-tite or safety wire for the fasteners pray they don't use Dzus fasteners.

Good luck, hope all goes well.
