Ramon is having back surgery today...let's all send him the healing thoughts he needs...with all the love in our community he'll be back on his feet in no time

:gh:

Ramon, I don't know when you'll see this but I've been sending prayers and good thoughts your way all day...may this surgery give you the relief you seek.
Hugs from your friend :blowkisses:

Get well soon Ramon!

I remember chatting with him about this on the project thread. My thoughts are with you, Ramon! I hope everything goes smoothly, and that you feel the best as possible when all is done!
Is there anyone in the UK that could send him baked goods from a recipe project? The next one isn't running yet, but it's an idea.

Hope all goes well! May you have a speedy recovery!

Hope you have a speedy recovery!

hey, THANKS A LOT!!! this is really sweet! Love you all!

I came back from the hospital today. the surgery went well, but unfortunately the nerve was pressed for too long and I am still having strng pains on my right foot (neuralgia pain and swollen foot). I have discussed with the doctor, as we expected to have it gone after the surgery, and he said this kind of damage will take 1 or 2 months to be completely recovered... let's see... at least I can walk again, and have my other here to help repotting plants :)

Our prayers are with you for a speedy recovery Ramon!

Cheers.

Welcome home, Ramon :blowkisses:

Welcome back, have a look at the chids. Sure that'll brighten up your day..just what the Dr ordered :)

Glad you're back at home. Hospitals are difficult places to rest.

what you don't say... the most uncomfortable bed I have ever had (especially having a wound on yourback!) I am so happy being able to sleep on my bed again! :) and on top of that, the nurses coming in the room every 5 or 10 minutes to check or ask for something, starting at 5:30 am already... They could be happy I could not move much, otherwise I think I would have kicked them out of the room... :rofl:

So glad you are back home Ramón :cheer:

Look after yourself and get well soon :blowkisses:

Hi Ramon,
So glad you are sleeping in your own comfy bed. I'm a doctor, but the last time I was in the hospital as a patient, I almost signed out "AMA"- against medical advice!

Hello Ramon. Good to see your out of the hospital already. Take it easy.

I missed this when it was your op, son not going back to University (long story) hope the post op situation is going well, Ramon. A coincidence is that one of my "real" (rather than virtual) friends has also had to have spinal surgery and is now making a good recovery.

Hi Hedge, thanks a lot! :) I am doing pretty fine now. My back is getting stronger everyday, but still needs a lot... on the other hand, the sequels on my leg/foot are also disappearing quicker than expected. My foot is not swollen anymore, and the neuralgic pain is almost gone. I have recovered about 90% of the mobility on my foot/leg, but still have no much strength on them (however, since 3 days I can use my both legs to walk up and down the stairs :D)

Get well wishes to your friend...

that's kind of you! She too had a nerve being compressed and had lost a lot of strength in her leg and it had been so gradual that she didn't realize how bad it had got. She is older than you and I by a decade or so, and has always kept fit with walking and swimming and was feeling very cheated by her condition, the surgery has had a wonderful affect on her, the pain in her back and the pins and needles went immediately.

She has suffered post operative local infection and had to have an awful lot of antibiotics, but she is already driving and walking really well.

I really do hope that you continue to get better as quickly as possible, and that your orchids are keeping well too!
