Good god!

Have you ever lost your footing in your entire life?

I have always been too slow to lose my footing.

wamberal

I need 4E!!!

wamberal

I have been buying Brooks, because I have a very wide foot.

Great to read that it's gone well, Wambers. Now - don't friggin forget that you still have an injured and weak back; just because the pain goes, don't do an Enz and start being 25 again. I couldn't even if I wanted to. For one thing Mrs Wamberal would object. For another I can't remember being 25! ...

wamberal

Very good! Keep it up. I saw the physio yesterday and have a new routine. On balance, it's more bastardly than the one the hospital gave me two weeks ago. And it's already time for another round, dammit! (Just checked the time) :shock: No pain, no gain (subject to proper techniques etc). I have don...

Operation plus 8 days. I am walking pretty well, now up to 4000 steps per day. Doing the prescribed rehab exercises. Really could not expect much more!! Very good! Keep it up.

Thanks Ted. I have had lots of luck, a very good neurosurgeon, and Mrs Wamberal!!

Good update!

Now all we need is for the Woodies to keep winning! I assume you are still a fan?

Today's Sydney Morning Hurled posits that Less Kiss is going to take on the Wallabies role, and will continue to coach the Reds.

wamberal

Still think they lack an on field leader. High Sinclair (whoever that is) doesn't seem to be that guy. Sinclair is basically a club rugby player.

I'm a huge Albanese fan, and I despise Dutton. But when on message, Dutton is arguably the more effective communicator. It will be interesting to see if he's forced to talk about his nuclear energy plan, lack of policies or his policy backflips during the debate. Albo's got it in the bag. Even News...

Buy quality and hold.

Yes, I have had surgery for spinal stenosis and luckily, it went well - scary though so do your research. I had a good surgeon. I’m happy to discuss further but can’t at the mo. There have been several threads you might be able to dig out - I have posted as has enzedder, I think. Yeah, I have had 3...

wamberal

Donaldson's goal-kicking should rule him out of contention.

wamberal

Good stuff! :thumbup: I'm very happy. Particularly so when the Woodies beat Randwick. Since your op didn't concern fully-articulating joints, what is involved in the rehab / physio? Also, were you prescribed heaps of painkillers? Sorry for the late response. The rehab involves lots of walking, know...

The IRA says thanks.

Sounds awful. I have been very fortunate, firstly my condition (spinal stenosis) is relatively mild, secondly I have had access to good medical resources.

wamberal

Worth getting. One of the best biographies ever written. I haven't read his book, but I have read a long piece about him in "The New Yorker". Tomorrow's the day!!!! Will report back in a couple or three days. Gambatte! :thumbup: Arigato!!

Who is suggesting that Albo should ""coast"? Maybe Peter Dutton?
He’s got a track record in coasting… see the voice.

He wasn't coasting. He was emoting (takes a lot of energy).

Sounds like Bill Shorten circa 2019.

Shorten would have won had it not been for the Bob Brown anti-coal campaign in Queensland.

Albo does not have to do much to win. All he has to do is not be Dutton.

wamberal

He’s playing well, isn’t he. Very few mistakes and just steady. Only criticism of him from last night was his kicking for touch from penalties. He shanked a few which led to 20 metre gains when they should have been 40 metre gains putting the Reds deep into Force territory. A bit picky maybe, and t...

Really doubt that was a possibility.

Tom Lynagh has to be our 10, for the next 10 years.

wamberal

Lol - old Skidaddle would have zero idea why Cobol skills are still in demand :lol: I learned COBOL back in the late sixties. I was a bit of gun, actually. 8)

Best of luck and best wishes from me too! And I hope your surgical team is of a quality where not much luck is needed. The neurosurgeon is highly recommended by my GP, who works a few days a month at the hospital. I know a highly regarded orthopaedic surgeon pretty well, he did both my total knee r...

I can barely even run on my knees anymore, f**king hurts. Bring on the titanium skeletons. Make sure you do your rehab after the op. Actually there are some good strengthening exercises before the op. The best one is to sit on a straight backed chair; straighten one leg and hold it horizontal for 5...

Best wishes to his family.

A pal of mine lives in New Zealand, he was talking to a fellow sailor who is a neurosurgeon. Apparently my procedure has a very high percentage of success. Here's hoping. It would be nice to be able to walk properly again.

Wonderful place. Head there if delayed.

Sleep on the floor?

They showed him incredible loyalty last year, so it would be disappointing, but probably just make him more unpopular with Oz fans, if he goes (or stays).

Lynagh!!!!!!

We have a number of Ippy boys and gels in our building. They are a special breed!

What happens when this obese fool drops dead? Can we expect the Yanks to start a nuclear war?

Update: I am booked in for a Lumbar Laminectomy in a couple of weeks. I cannot walk properly now, pain is not a problem, but I would love to be able to walk okay. Will report on the other side (of my op!!). I read back through all the earlier posts, thanks for those good wishes, they mean a lot. Be...
