RE: Drakensberg Mountains Kamberg Nature Reserve
Never been that side of the Berg Lady Joan, but you are so right about the heat.
I followed a tribe of Elands for miles over berg and valleys once and was almost dead beat until the sudden coolness revived me.
Bad new today as the doc told me that the pain in my legs are caused by my spine disintegrating. Referred me to an orthopedic specialist.
Seems like no more long walks for me for a long time.
Blessings!
So sorry to hear it is spinal problem, perhaps the orthopedic specialist will have an answer and able to replace damaged disks. Older we get the more needs replacement from wear and tear unfortunately.
Making friends with all the wildlife around your new home you will have on-going visitors Stephen.
Thank you Lady Joan, I have no intention of spending my last days in a wheelchair and talking via email to the doctor today. I have a feeling that they will "fuse" the thing.
You are right as we have always been blessed with new visitors and the news must spread along the animal grapevine hahaha
Blessings!
Hope the doc has positive news, fusing together makes good sense, I have heard of hip bone being used to replace disks, no procedure is ever 100% fail proof, can only wish you the best that the right procedure is recommended.
Appointment for Friday the 8th of November Lady Joan and I have a CD of the scans, so will once again participate in the decisions.
1980, I had six operations after the bike prang and thankfully after the 3rd one, the orthopedic specialist decided to involve me in the process.
So, I am not going in out of the cold and if I don't like anything, I will opt for a second opinion.
The problem is that these guys are expensive and we don't have much money.
But we will see what we can do.
Blessings!
Your funds are gone before you even walk through the front door, sadly this is how medical has gone of late. Good to know you have all the information to present your own case and not end up being shoved around at huge cost Stephen.
So true my friend and we have still not recovered from the last operation.
They certainly make huge profits off the sick and only have to look at some of the billion rand head offices in Sandton to see where our money is going.
But then again who can survive without a medical aid in this country, even if it is a basic package?
Blessings!
