I got in to get a CT scan done on my spine & had to get some X-rays done as well at 2:10, I was all propped up with some support under my legs so I could lay down on my back long enough to get the CT scan done, well it didn't take long & the pain down my leg to my knee was getting bad, I told them to harry it up because the pain was getting worse by the millisecond, mu breathing was getting shorter & shorter, then I said in a loud voice    GET ME OUT OFF HERE I CAN'T STAND IT ANY LONGER, so I never got it done.

They said to come back when I'm feeling better, now that's funny, When I'm feeling better, then there's no need to go back I reckon.

No one can do anything for me, so I'll have to massage the tender spots my self & hope it come good soon.

I'm not after sympathy, I'm just letting ya's know how my pain in the back/leg is going.

I took Max out for a short walk with a lot off discomfort, I walked to the last track I cleared to see if anyone had found it, going by the marks on the ground a lot of bikes had been on the track that goes past my new one, Haha, only one tyre mark in there

That doesn't sound good at all mate. Be sure to let us know if you need anything done while you rest up.

Thanks mate, I'll get through this like I did before, I've had this  years ago, it's a nerve in the groin that needs to be put back in place, the fella that fixed me up was a Bank Manger,  & worked from his tin shed in his back yard,he learn't his skills in the war years, when I went to him he knew straight away what my trouble was, he had me back on my feet in no time, he is now retired, yeah old age sucks.  

  

He sounds like the old fella my old man used to take his greyhounds to. He'd feel around all their muscles and could tell you exactly how your dog was performing and why bit more of a poke and prod and they would be good as new

Hi Frankie,

I've had to have lots of MRI's and CT scans for various injuries over the journey and although I was able to lay inside the machine without too many dramas I've had friends that because of either pain or claustrophobia couldn't stand to be inside the machine. Once finding this out the next time they attempted to get the scans done their doctor prescribed them a valium or similar which both helps with pain especially back pain and also helps with any anxiety caused by claustrophobia.
The only catch is you will need someone on hand to drive you home after.

Hope this helps

I tried to do post up a around the world adventure ride, it didn't work.

Update on my pain in the back/leg.
It's a lot better now, I've still got a bit of tenderness just below the right knee, looks like I've got     Patella Tendonitis  I've had this discomfort feeling for a long time, I could put up with it, it was just annoying, I've got exercises to do, it all helps.

I'm happy that I'm still alive & doing what I love doing,          no not that          riding bikes.
Three weeks ago a fella at the age of 74 dripped dead at our shopping center from a heart attack, they worked on him for a while with no good out come, I was talking with the Lady at the hairdressers about it yesterday, she told me that there was another one that had a heart attack at Mid valley shopping center  last week that had passed away as well.

So as I said I'm happy to be alive, you just never know when ya number is up.

I'm feeling good enough to go riding so I'll post up a ride for the last Saturday in the month 30-9-17
see Members Rides for details.

Hey Frankie , really good to hear your going well , maybe next time Paul wont get us lost  See you soon . Regards Scotty
