Every step I take and every nut I tighten up is a bonus. 21 years ago it looked like I would spend the rest of my life in a wheel chair. Thank heavens for modern science. I have had, within the 7 major ops. so far, a total of 2 totally experimental operations, both of which have worked and are now done world wide. I was pleased to be the guinea pig back in 1996 for those. Others have put up their hands to have the type of operation I had on the 15th December last, so I thank them from the bottom of my heart for being the guinea pig.

I will still be here (Epworth Hawthorn, Vic) for another couple of weeks as things improve. Today is the first day that I have felt like looking at a computer.

The result sofar is a a lestening of the amount of pain I have put up with over the past 12 months, so lets hope that continues to improve and I will be back out there in the shed pretty soon.

Regards to all,
Rick.
