Also, I hate to be a nag but I have been largely housebound since the whole spinal cord injury kerfuffle last Summer. I’d love a chance to enjoy my new spine for a bit. Is that doable? Cheers!

OUT NOW: BJGP | Continuity & Access: what #patients want from access, the GP partnership model, and improving general practice #AppointmentBooking, plus, transformation in Scotland, Community Interest Companies, #CaudaEquinaSyndrome, and the financial erosion of the GP role.

These arrived yesterday! There is much to celebrate, especially the #NHS who have given us so much care and kept me fit and mobile #BowelCancer #CaudaEquinaSyndrome #gratitude 🙏

Happy Tarlov (and Meningeal) Cyst Awareness Day!!! 🦓🦓🦓🦄🦄🦄 #TarlovCyst #RareDisease #Spine #SpineSurgery #SuddenParalysis #CaudaEquinaSyndrome

Watching his last Test in hospital is one of very few good memories of last Summer, when #CaudaEquinaSyndrome tried to ruin my life… a tad awkward trying to explain to the woman next to me that I was crying over #cricket and not my spine! 😂

For any doctors out there, this is what a meningeal cyst looks like on MRI. It is NOT a Tarlov cyst, and it CAN be removed. If you don’t know something, refer to a colleague who does. Don’t just send patients home to die. #CaudaEquinaSyndrome #MeningealCyst #TarlovCyst #RareDisease

Yes. Herniated lumbar disc from pressure of compensating for the 8.8cm meningeal cyst on my S1-S4. #CaudaEquinaSyndrome Neurosurgeon was able to remove the cyst. Only 6 specialists in the world do this neurosurgery. Had to fly to Dallas for care.

To my stalker:
Attempting to "take the heat off" a disreputable GP has turned you into a nasty little man.

Still managing the activity, despite pain. Exercise class yesterday, aqua & swim today.
Disability will not beat me.

Still not up to walking far with pain & nerve damage from #ces ##caudaequinasyndrome surgery 2023, but increasing activity with aqua & swimming as much as possible.
Ongoing disability is really no joke.
Determined to improve walking & mobility for first holiday in 2 years.

There's a great one to share Ivan, I'm sure being the kind, compassionate 'man' you've shown yourself to be, you'll do just that.
Let's save money for the NHS, & look after the disabled, like your wife ❤️

I’m still recovering from invasive back surgery. Like any recovery I’ve had my ups and I’ve had my downs. I wanted to try and create an image that translated my recovery pains and frustration. I’m open to questions.
