From Orin

[Orin]

So the date has been set for the surgery; July 13th will be the date. The advice was that if the surgery had been performed within the first 6 months of the problem, there would be a 90% chance that the recovery would be complete. After the 6 months, the chances of recovery is 85%. The surgeon believes he can do some good so has advised me to pursue the surgery, since the cortisone didn't work. He thinks that although the problem will not be 100% solved, it will improve the situation to the point where I shall not be in the type of pain I am in at the moment. Lately I have heard of people having several goes at the surgery--which makes me wonder.

Well good luck with it Orin.

I understand it when you say....

..but obviously you have to give yourself every chance that there is, and the positive way to look at it is that even if there isn't a 100% percent improvement, any improvement is better than none at all.

Pain Sucks...except when you have to pay extra for the Hot Wax & Leather Bull Whip.

I'm sure you'll be back in top form in no time, It just sucks that you have to wait so long for the surgery

[Maximal]

This is a Ramble of Orin's about having a date set for his surgery

[Moe]

My apologies, i was not clear with my question I should have asked: What is orin going into surgery for?

[Maximal]

Check out his previous rambles for the whole story but I believe it is for a sciatic nerve or something like that. It is currently causing him alot of pain
