I have been in constant pain for about 1 Month now and I have just been told that it is the screws that are causing the pain. I have been to see a specialist that has suggested that they will be removing the screws to help with the pain. I really hope that this will be the last operation I will have to have for a very long time. Although OraMorph is a great painkiller 🙂 As a side note we have decided to move back to South Africa to be near family and for me to have a career change IT has lost it’s appeal for me. Not sure what I will do just yet but it will be something that I can do outside 🙂 Lance ---

My goodness, there’s been sufficient excitement in your life lately. I’m glad that your injuries were no worse. Here’s hoping for much improvement with the removal of the hardware. Any glimmerings of what you’ll do that’s not IT? That change and the move back home are bound to be so happy for you. Best of luck with it all!
