I know I only pay a visit here once a week or so now but unfortunately will not be around for 4 - 6 weeks after next week-end. Have been summoned up to Sheffield for an operation on me spine!!! Have had a prolapsed disc for a year now and been in a lot of pain, it has taken this long before being offered surgery, (don't ask why it has taken this long but it has)!!!!!! Not a major operation by any means as it is minimal invasive but have been told I have about 2-3 nerves trapped under the discs and they have to be freed so will be off work for at least six weeks afterwards but hoping to get back to the library in the New Year to catch up with all the news then.
Will be here next Saturday or Monday depending what work the good lady has in-store for me before my op but in the meantime just like to wish you all the very best for Christmas and New Year.
Kind regards
Nigel.
I used to be an optimist but with age I am now a grumpy old pessimist.

I suffer from paranoid amnesia. I can't remember who I don't trust.
