Getwell Roachie,

Have one concern, Can't see how they could have worked on your spine, though people in your Job were spineless LOL

"6 million $$$$$ Roachie.................."

That would still be less than he's spent trying to fix cooling problems with the 4.2TD. :)

I'd like to give you all a BIG thankyou for your kind wishes.Bill went into hospital yesterday to have a microdiscectomy done.Which means he has had some pieces of a broken disc removed from his back.These were sitting on his siatic nerve and causing numbness in his lower right leg as well as causing lower back pain.
He has been told to take it easy for the next six weeks,so I guess he wont be workin on the chev for a while.
Anyway he is feeling great and looks all the better for it too.He is hoping to be discharged tomorrow. Thanks again to you all for your kind words,
Regards Annette.

Annette, ,our thoughts and best wishes are with you and Bill, we didnt realise it was so small but why oh why does he has to have it removed? I have never heard of a Microdicsectomy but it must really hurt. We all hope he is having it replaced with a macrodic, a 6.5l V8 one. xxxx Bonz and Family and forum et al

Hi Annette, give my best to Bill, i know what its like , My little lady just spent a week waiting in hospital for surgery, back went ballistic last week, scans mri etc, wow 20-30% disk rupture at L4/L5 . yep - disectomy also ! out of theatre 4 this morning walking at 2 this arvo, now the recovery!! At least shes got a morphene machine, i'm totally buggered LOL..

Now we can "race" their recoveries LOL :-)

Thanks Pesty,
PB2 is still in Adelaide, but I'm back in Kadina!!!! GGGGRRRRRRRRRRR
I left PB2 with a bloke for a bit of suspension "tweaking".....(ie: new coils, shocks, castor plates, adj panhards and longer brake lines). This bloke has 3 hoists in his shop. He tried the 3T hoist and it blew a fuse. So, he moved the Chevvy to the 3.5T hoist; groan!!!! Luckily the 4T hoist was able to defy gravity. However, the rear springs (4" ordered) were not up to the task, so 6" are on their way from Sidenee, together with the proper front Panhard rod....as they'd sent a damn LoLux unit and then wondered why the steering dampner would not bolt-up!!!

Anyway, let's just say it's been a comedy of errors (on their part)....the blokes are sooooo apologetic. I told them on the phone when I arranged all this that she is a heavy little beasty, but I think they thought I was joking.

Tomorrow, I'm back off the Adelaide with PB1 (That's Pussbucket # 1 aka Nissan Patrol 4.2TD which I've owned since it was new). I'm due to meet a family at the airport at 0900. They are flying in from Melbourne with Bank Cheque in hand to purchase my "old faithfull". Could be a couple of tears flow as I hand the keys over. hahahahaha

As Annette said earlier.....thanks to you all for your kind wishes to get well. I'm still looking forward to Warraweena in July.

Cheers

Roachie
