Thanks Jeff.
To round off the story...the hospital did get me a taxi home and picked up the tab..$268...the matron was a very head strong lady and she would not accept that I had no way of getting home...it was a battle of wills...she's being a head strong character that must have things done her way and me a reasonable man but placed in a situation where I could not leave, happy to compromise, but I am staying...so she comes back and says with glee..the hospital is getting you a taxi so get your things together...now was my opportunity for victory over her head strong steam roller mentality..." Oh thank you so much, you could see how I really wanted to get home and you made it happen and honestly I can't tell you how happy I am and how much I appreciate you doing this for me thank you"....I don't know but I just love watching the blood drain from an opponents face when I deliver the knock out punch...that moment when they realise they have been nailed and wonder just how it happened...teach her to fool with a helpless defenseless old man.....
And the ultimate irony given I see things like a movie and that I am the hero experiencing extreme highs and low etc....well I am in the taxi and we come over the mountain and before me is the most beautiful Sun set so I thought what a day and the hero rides into the Sunset .... the more I think about it the disk problem is the more likely to be due to some of the heavy work I have been doing...they probably say cancer just because I have cancer problems....anyways got hold of my favorite girl at the doctors and she got me in to see the doctor on the same day as I see the radiologist.... and my Ex insists on driving me in saying I should not be driving given the type of pain killer...true you can notice it for sure...I will run out of what they gave me at the hospital but I squirelled away some morphine sulphate that will get me thru but I am hoping it will just go away....
So I slept very well and not suffering as I write this but I will put off chopping the wood until this afternoon ( joke alert but I suppose I could be that silly without much effort) ...
Thanks again for the support it really makes all the difference.
Alex
