as my back is not as strong and still suffering lots of pain from the operation in august 2011
and havnt quite healed up properly and dont want to risk doing more damage to spine at the moment
thanks for the invite and the chance
cheers dean ( dragon )

Dean, mate your having a tough time with your injuries, hope you get it under control soon , your entries are ok for now, no need to withdrawn them , you can hopefully get a chance to work them soon, Take care buddy

thanks craig
i will try to get the wife out there to take some update picture for the 3 month update if not i will stagger out
cheers dean

gday Dean,

that sucks bro, I know how your feeling, it is soooo hard to not be able to get out and do things when you want to so badly. I hope you heal up a bit quicker now, its been going for a while. how is the rehab coming along? i know the rehab is a very long process aswell. do you have access to a pool? at your home or a close friend? getting in the pool is so much releif. I will be living in one coming over christmas, going to the wifes uncles place for a few days and he has put in a new pool, wooohooo!

all the best champ

Gday jamie it does suck real bad but you have to live through the pain and drag ya self around when i need anything , my body is healing slowly but getting there
been 14 months and 2 operations last one 4 inches of titanium X 2 each side of spine and 8 screws in spine it will take a while . i do rehab 3 days a week and 2 days in a heated pool for hydro as it is the only hydro pool in my area ,my parents have got a pool but it is too damn cold at moment so yer im doing it heated style hahahaha but other wise going good thanks for the kind words
cheers dean ( dragon)

The operation sounds painful
Hope you get better soon as I know suffering from back, shoulder, knee can have a devastating effect on quality of life.

Don't stress, take one step at a time and enjoy your bonsai day by day.

Best regards.
