[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1635688, member: 94045"] No I wasn't diabetic. It was in 1985 and was a rare operation in those days, but became more common later. It was deemed dangerous due to the closeness to the spinal cord and of course there was no technology to help the surgeon in those days. I imagine that today it is far less dangerous. I doubt keyhole had been invented back then. The operation took 6 hours because the disc had burst and spread all the bits round the nerve. I should have been in hospital 10 days, which was the normal time after all major ops then. (indeed 10 days was the normal time for births that were perfectly normal ones. We weren't even allowed to wash our hair or have a bath for 4 days!) I discharged myself earlier than the 10 days as I was walking about on day 1, swimming in the hydrotherapy pool on day 2, all my obs were normal very quickly, I was painfree and only on antibiotic tablets, and I wanted to go home!
