Update

Thanks for all of the messages and support over the last couple of weeks.

The situation so far is that the doctors seem to think I have a tumour as MRI's have shown that the lesion has grown considerably and my spasms and pain have increased dramatically over the last few weeks.

Doctors who Jay and my family have been in contact with seem to be of the opinion that a tumour is the most likely cause of the paralysis.

This means that I am due to have emergency surgery where they hope to excise the tumour or worst case scenario perform another biopsy. This is obviously a pretty major setback to my rehabilitation as further surgery will completely remove aany chance of recovery. However, leaving a tumour can potentially be very damaging to my body.

I am being operated on tomorrow at the RHOH (Stanmore) so more of the same really but at least I get to have more morphine on tap...

I am sorry I haven't been able to personally reply to your messages but there simply aren't enough hours in

This is the zip in my back from the operation and is where the lesion or growth in my spinal column is.

That scar is six hours worth of surgery and still hurts like a bastard.

Woo hoo

In the spirit of trying to make me feel better my physio took me cycling today. Basically I sit in my wheelchair close to an electric cycling chair and the machine does the work.

Obviously my legs don't work so my feet get strapped into moving pedals and I sit in horror and the machine and my legs cycle away while I pretend I am actually moving my body.

The whole experience is surreal as I haven't moved my legs in over 60 days and to see them moving was pretty gutting as I knew that the machine was doing all the work.

Apart from that little bit of excitement it was another day of wheeling around the corridors of the hospital in a vain attempt to find a bit of action. I don't mean to find prostitutes or a fight but something to do. Hopefully I'll get a digital camera that works so I can post some pictures.

Until then it is back to the internet to find out what developments have been made in stem cell research or what the going rate is for a pair of limbs in cambodia!
