My friend Mark Tillyer in action, snaped a whl back, he asked me if I wanted a go as I'm do riide a bit, but after my op, NO, NO, NO........ And the reason : Hi All my friends on Caedes. Just to let you all know I have had my first operation on my lower spine, went well so they say, just got to spend 2-3 months on the floor now, and then have the other 2 discs done in 3 months. The surgeon frightened the crap out of me when the Ambulance took me in, he came to see me just before the op and said 'any changes since I last saw you ? ' I said, 'yes, its all gone real bad' so he had me MRI scanned again so he could see what went wrong, the Sciatic nerve was totally crushed in 2 places, and 1-2 more days of that and I would have lost the use of my legs, full stop, the 2 hours surgery took 5 hours, he was going to do all four disc's but thought 7-8 hours under the anesthesia would have made it a bit to much, so 4-5 are done, just 2-3 to go, so in six months I should be all fixed and ready to run the London marathon....lol. I'm still in a lot of pain though, but just in the back, mind you, digging around in there for 4-5 hours I suppose I would be eh . . . . . So please be paitient with me getting to write on your posts, because laying on the floor trying to type is a right bugger.... Well that's it for now, I will be looking at all your wonderful work, and I will try to post a comment at times, miss you all, take care. NOW, WHERE DID I LEAVE MY BIKE ? ? ? Kind regards, Mark AKA . . . . 'sasraku'

Mark, you certainly have had to go through a bunch of bad things and I truly wish you a complete recovery from the pains you are now experiencing. I view your picture as a metaphor to all of us. Our wheels may leave the ground, but our spirits may always be flying. Take care and hurry back with your recovery.

Glad you made it through round one Mark. Hope your cats don't use you for a play toy lying on the floor. Take care for round two. The biker seems to be celebrating your first go round.

Fine shot Mark. Take care of you and give yourself plenty of time to heal up right. These kinds of things push back hard when we push them. I know from personal experience!!
