Norman Ingram:
My daughter has a couple of malformed disc, she has been told by doctor she cannot keep having injections, better to have the operation, Also one of my mates name of Alan, was in his late fifties and had his disc wear, he had the operation and was great, but was told not to do heavy lifting, but he never listen, and also kept jumping down from the lorry, this was in the eighties, he had no trouble for about 8/10 years, then his disc went further up his back, he was warned that they could do it again, but the danger was he could end up in a wheelchair, and he did! Two things he did wrong, one he never liked milk, which is very good for bones, and the other was not looking after his back when he got a second chance.
Hmn, as we speak Iām in serious trouble with my back. I say itās a reward for all those years bouncing up and down in a lorry. I had a total Knee replacement 5 months ago (100% success), but I had to use two walking sticks for about 3 weeks, Iām a hefty fella and they put a lot of strain and pressure on my upper back and shoulders. It woke something up in my spine, now Iām told (after scans etc.) that I have a degenerative spinal condition. Wonderful.
They are not operating on my back unless itās life or death, a doctor friend once told me, "Donāt ever let anybody operate on your back. "
Iām still ticking over and if I can keep that way, Iāll manage.
I managed to climb all the way up AND DOWN in yon new Volvo a couple of weeks ago so thereās life in the old dog yet.
See Harry I always used the steps, kneeās & back ok, only a little stiff when I do some gardening, being a shop stupid I had to set a example! If I had worn a gas mask and watch my weigh & sugar intake, I would not have got Asthma & Diabetes, I would have been the perfect man once more!

What about taking to the stage with a one man show Norm and playing the bones with a little song and a sand dance.
Cheers Dave.

O. C. you will have to post a photo to qualify for the oldest goodlooking chap on this thread, Handsome Harry thinks he is , I know that I am, Ang is the best looking women on here, but she is falling apart at the seams, she needs a complete overall of her bones, I was temped to wizz up to Gateshead and see her, but I thought if I grab her in my arms to give her a cuddle, she would crumble in my arms, I will have to get my meccano set out and see if I can patch her up!

grumpy old man:
No no Harry, donāt fall for womanly charms alone, I live with a set that that, fine and OK when the are packaged, but when they are notā¦scary.
Thereās more pleasure in a nice malt mateā¦and itās safer.
Iām doomed, doomed I tell yea!
Mind, a good malt is a close run thing, I might not be totally beyond hope yet

hiya,
Iām secretly terrified of the fairer ā ā ā Simon, do the honours pour me a rather large one while your at it, hic.
thanks harry, long retired.
Ha ha ha, I donāt believe that Harry for one second, itās more likely your scared that you will be found out, that you are the cassanova of Geordyland, and your labido has gone into retirement.
